“The best part of my job is seeing patients come in with pain, and knowing that nine out of ten times, we can take care of them and they can return to their lives, pain-free. My philosophy on patient care is that we have to remember that there is a person attached to those two feet. We have to look at the whole person, see them as an individual, and take into account not only what podiatric treatment they need, but what’s going on in the rest of the body as well.”
