A Note To Referring Medical Professionals

If you’re a fellow healthcare professional or someone looking for exceptional foot care, I want to take a moment to share what makes my direct care podiatry practice unique. My goal is simple: to provide patients with the time, attention, and expert care they deserve—without the hassle of insurance barriers.

After years of working in traditional healthcare settings, I realized something was missing: the freedom to focus entirely on patients and adopt innovative technologies to heal patients faster, rather than paperwork, rushed appointments, or jumping into invasive options. That’s what led me to open this practice—so I could offer personalized, high-quality podiatric care with a more patient-centered approach.

My Mission: Personalized Care That Makes a Difference

My mission is to provide more than just symptom relief. I want to prevent complications, restore function, and empower patients to take control of their foot health. Whether it’s preventive care, diabetic foot management, chronic pain treatment, or surgery, I focus on long-term solutions tailored to each individual.

This practice blends the best of medical, preventive, and surgical care. I believe that with the right care early on, many major invasive procedures can be avoided, giving patients a chance to stay mobile and healthy without unnecessary intervention.

What Referring Providers and Patients Can Expect

If you’re considering sending patients my way—or if you’re looking for expert care for yourself—I want you to know what you can expect from working with me:

  • Open Communication: Whether you’re a patient or a referring provider, you’ll have direct access to me. I value collaboration and make sure to keep all lines of communication open.

  • Unhurried, Thorough Appointments: I take the time to really understand the patient’s story, lifestyle, and goals. This isn’t cookie-cutter care - it’s customized for each individual.

  • Upfront Pricing Without Surprises: We don’t accept insurance, which means no confusing bills or delayed treatments. Patients know exactly what they’re paying upfront, with clear and transparent pricing.

  • Conservative Treatment First: I offer expert surgical care when needed, but I always explore non-invasive options first. My focus is on preventing complications and restoring function with the least intervention necessary.

  • Preventive Care for Complex Cases: I have extensive experience working with diabetic patients and individuals at risk for complications. My approach emphasizes prevention, helping patients avoid setbacks like wounds, infections, or even amputations.

Why This Model Works

Direct care practice allows me to provide better outcomes by eliminating the constraints of the insurance system. Patients have more time to ask questions, understand their treatment plans, and feel confident that they are in good hands. This also means I can collaborate with other providers more efficiently—whether it’s coordinating care for diabetic patients or supporting recovery after orthopedic surgery.

If you’re a fellow physician, rest assured that the care I provide complements the work you do. I’ll always keep you in the loop with updates, and I welcome any input to ensure we’re all working toward the same goal: helping patients stay healthy and active.
