Care Philosophy:
As a former athlete, there is nothing more rewarding than getting our patients back to the sports and activities they love. I comprehensively evaluate all injuries and conditions of the lower extremity. I evaluate gait and take xrays when necessary to complete the exam and provide an accurate diagnosis and efficient treatment plan that is well adapted to the patient's specific sport or activities. In most cases, conservative care is best. However, when necessary, surgery is offered if all conservative care options have failed. Before any procedure, all risks and benefits are always discussed. Our greatest asset is the team approach from our foot & ankle surgeons with 75 years of experience between them all. I am an advocate for my patients and readily give them my email address after our visit to answer any further questions or clarify our conversation. I encourage patients to visit our website, instagram @southfloridasportsmedicine, and twitter @SFLSportsMed for patient education.
