My goal is to educate you with your condition and partner with you in providing the best treatment, whether that is an non-operative solution or a surgical one. I am committed to do whatever it takes to help you leave in a better condition than when you walked into the door. ### Professional highlights I like to stay active with my church community in Fremont, where we will frequently host outreach programs to help families and those in need in the surrounding communities. ### Outside of medicine Outside of Medicine, I enjoy going on hikes with my wife and our golden retriever, Scout. I also enjoy running and watching basketball. ## Education and training **Medical school:** Western University of Health Sciences College of Podiatric Medicine **Residency:** Kaiser Permanente - Santa Clara, Foot and Ankle Surgery **Fellowship:** Silicon Valley Reconstructive Foot & Ankle Fellowship, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Mountain View **Special training:** American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery ## Board certifications -
