About Me

I am a native of Philadelphia, PA and pursued my undergraduate degree at Michigan State University.  From there, I went to Rosalind Franklin University in Chicago, IL to earn my doctoral in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery.  I completed my surgical residency in the Pittsburgh, PA area and subsequent fellowship training in adult reconstructive surgery, limb salvage medicine and surgery in Youngstown, OH. I truly empathize and understand that being injured can affect a patient both physically and emotionally. It is my personal goal to ensure that patients can return back to their daily activities as soon as possible. In limited my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children.
