Our Doctors

Taking care of our patients is our first priority. Many patients seek help because of pain that is restricting their activity. The goal of treatment is to get the patient back to that activity, pain-free, as soon as possible. Our physicians spend time educating patients on the causes of their foot and ankle conditions and discussing how to prevent further injury. Our physicians firmly believe that surgery should be the last option and that conservative measures should be exhausted first.
 
We provide our patients with the best podiatric care in the Tri-County area of Lake, Sumter, and Marion Counties. Our mission is to serve our patients, community, and each other with love, respect, and purpose; exceeding expectations and promoting change. We are real people making a difference.
