About Me

As a physician, I believe in making every patient in my practice part of our St. Luke’s family. Going to the doctor is normally not a "fun" experience, but I strive to have every patient leave smiling. I am most proud of my diagnostic abilities; I enjoy diagnosing and managing rare pathologies and providing working solutions for patients who have been unable to find this elsewhere. I am a foot nerd. I have the ability to treat most common and uncommon foot pathologies with a range of conservative and surgical options. I strive to keep patients out of surgery as much as possible, but my surgical toolbox is broad and I can address the myriad of foot and ankle pathologies. 

I am a board qualified foot and ankle surgeon and am pursuing full certification in 2022. My specialties within my practice are forefoot and rearfoot pathologies with a concentration in limb salvage and wound care.

Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors and any activity involving water. Most recently my wife and I find ourselves inundated with our young son, who is a ton of fun and thankfully loves the outside as well. My family is an avid SCUBA family. I formally was a dive instructor and whenever possible you will find me under the water. I also enjoy water skiing, snow skiing, hunting, hiking, and kayaking.

Dr. Newton took care of my foot condition. He explained in detail what caused the problem and how to avoid similar problems in the future.

Dr Newton was exceptional throughout the 7 months I was in his care. Despite being there for a workmans comp case I never felt pressured to return to work by him, and never felt as though he didn't believe I was injured. He listened thoroughly and thought everything out. He explained everything to me clearly and in ways I could understand. When my injury eventually led to surgery, I wasn't even nervous to have the operation because of his thorough explanations of what to expect. He is by far my favorite doctor I have been to in my life. And the reception crew is great as well. I can tell that everyone gets along and enjoys working together and they put the patients needs first.

08/23/2023
Dr. Newton was the best doctor that ever took care of me. His understanding, compassion and general concern about my health concern was amazing. I cannot say enough great things about Dr.Newton and his staff. I will highly recommend Dr. Newton to all my friends and family. He is the absolute best.
