Biography

I have completed the 12-month Foot & Ankle Reconstructive Surgery Fellowship under the direction of the American Health Network in Indianapolis, recognized by the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons. I have been very blessed with the opportunity to continue at American Health Network as a partner with the Foot & Ankle group and it is my goal to provide convenient, comprehensive foot and ankle care for all patients. I am Board-qualified in Foot Surgery and in Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery. My practice incorporates any pathology below the knee including ankle fractures, Achilles tendon ruptures, foot fractures and reconstructive procedures, as well as in-office procedures including ingrown toenail procedures and wart excision. As a devoted, competitive runner, I have a special interest and special training in the care of athletes. I am more than happy to see any sports-related lower extremity problems, i.e. shin splints, orthopedic management issues, plantar fasciitis, etc. I also have extensive training in pediatric flatfoot surgery and I do enjoy seeing pediatric patients. As the only physician in central Indiana to have completed a 12-month ACFAS-recognized fellowship, I am confident that the training I have acquired has equipped me with the skills necessary to prosper when facing the challenges my career will present.
