As a �ٺ���Ƶ foot and ankle surgeon, I treat patients ages 5 and older who have foot and ankle pain. I bring extensive expertise in all areas of foot and ankle care, including pediatric and adult flatfoot reconstruction, arthritis treatment, and sports medicine.

I typically use conservative treatment for sprains, fractures, flatfeet, high arches, sports-related injuries, arthritis, and diabetic-related issues. Surgery may be required for fractures and foot infections resulting from diabetes. My patients may choose elective reconstructive surgery to treat flatfeet and tendon and ligament tears. Ankle arthroscopy may be needed to examine the ankle tissues and joints.

I have a special interest in minimally invasive bunion surgery. This new technique allows patients to bear weight on their foot in a boot and then surgical shoe immediately after surgery. It allows for less pain and swelling in the short term and better range of motion in the long term.

Growing up in Madison, Wisconsin, I was involved in athletics, mostly basketball and baseball. A fond middle and high school memory of mine is participating in the Senior League World Series against other baseball teams from all over the world.

After earning a degree in kinesiology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, I transitioned from participating in sports to treating those with sports-related injuries. In medical school, I chose to specialize in the lower extremity because I enjoyed the opportunity to treat a range of foot-related issues and work closely with other medical specialties, including vascular surgery, plastic surgery, rheumatology, and orthopedics.

�ٺ���Ƶ provides the best access to superior foot and ankle care, using the latest surgical techniques. We are on the front line of using new surgical equipment to achieve optimal results. Patients have access to a team-like approach to their medical care, with all specialties working together to ensure the best care possible.

Whether it is conservative care or surgical intervention, I strive to deliver personalized, compassionate, and superior patient care to relieve foot and ankle pain—care supported by the latest technology and evidence-based medicine.
