Summary

• I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in operative and non-operative treatment of foot and ankle conditions from young adolescent to adult patients. My expertise includes minimally invasive techniques, arthroscopy, deformity correction, complex fracture care and total ankle arthroplasty.
  
  I grew up in Englewood, NJ, and earned my undergraduate degree at Yale College. I then completed my medical degree at University of Pittsburgh where I was inducted into Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) and the Gold Humanism Honor Society. I remained in Pittsburgh to complete residency at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. While there, I served in numerous education and leadership roles, including administrative chief resident. I then completed orthopedic subspecialty fellowship training in foot and ankle at Harvard/Brigham and Women’s Hospital and in Boston, Massachusetts.
  
  In addition to my clinical practice, I am active in academic research, publishing articles, abstracts, and book chapters on foot and ankle trauma, sports injuries, patient reported outcomes and sustainability in medicine. I am passionate about serving the diverse patient population of Philadelphia.
