Patient Rating:

(5.00)*

I am a board-certified Podiatrist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle issues, injuries, and surgical procedures. For over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of providing comprehensive outpatient and surgical foot care, including sports medicine. Twenty-five of those years have been serving patients in Everett and the surrounding area.

My approach to care always begins with an emphasis on conservative treatments, such as custom orthotics and physical therapy, particularly for common conditions like plantar fasciitis. I always prioritize what works best for the individual patient. When surgery is necessary, I specialize in advanced procedures, including the Lapidus procedure for severe bunion deformity and surgery for conditions like Achilles tendonitis or heel spurs.

My dedication to helping patients relieve their pain is driven by a simple philosophy: I can see the athlete in everybody. From the young and enthusiastic, to the avid middle-aged, to the older patient who just wants to walk two miles a day. Everyone deserves the best possible product to allow them to function to the peak of their performance without pain.

Outside of the clinic, I enjoy an active lifestyle, just as I encourage my patients to do. You can often find me enjoying outdoor adventures like skiing, mountain biking, and motorcycle riding. My most treasured time is spent with my family and grandchildren, and I remain an active member in the local community.
