About
Bio
I am an active practicing podiatrist in Sacramento, California. I have over 20 years clinical experience with a primary specialty in treating toenail fungus, ingrown nails, heel and arch pain and sports injuries. Since I longer provide any surgical options for my patient, my ultimate goal is to provide multiple treatment modalities for my patient, and even an occasional "alternative" option prior to surgical options. There are those instances that surgery is the best option for my patients and I will refer them to the best surgical hands in my area. By coming on board with HealthTap I hope to help you with any small issues and certainly guide you in the right direction for those problems that might be more complicated.
