I believe in combining the latest advances in podiatric medical and surgical technology with proven techniques that have stood the test of time. I constantly pursue ongoing education to stay on top of the latest methods in foot and ankle care. This way, patients can be certain that they are getting the most current treatments and most successful remedies.
It is my goal to help my patients get back on their feet as soon as possible; that’s why I am committed to building strong relationships with my patients in order to develop a current, comprehensive and individualized plan of care to improve their health and quality of life.
When patients come to the office, they can expect a physician who is engaging, respectful and compassionate. I treat all my patients as if they are a part of my family because I want the best possible outcome for them, at all times.
My wife, Melanie, and I have dogs and are both from Southeastern Michigan. I like to exercise, travel and spend time with my family.
