About Me

As a podiatrist who specializes in foot and ankle related pathologies, my goal is to get my patients back on their feet pain free. I strive on developing relationships based on trust, respect and communication as we work together toward a common goal. I am committed to my patient’s education and working as a team to identify the best treatment to suit their individual lifestyles.

I am a surgical podiatrist at St. Luke’s Univeristy Health Network. My practice is dedicated to all aspect of lower extremitity care in outpatient and inpatient settings. I believe in maximizing non-operative treatments whenever possible but I am also skilled in providing individualized and innovative surgical options when needed. I have obtained a comprehensive surgical training in elective and non-elective reconstructive foot and ankle surgery (hammetoes and severe bunions correction, flatfoot correction, painful joint fusions), soft tissue surgery (nerve decompression, tendon injury repair, tendon lengthening) and fracture care. I take special interest in diabetic limb salvage and wound care, where I am well versed on the cutting edge of wound healing techniques. I also perform office based procedures from partial nail avulsion for ingrown toenails to injections for painful arthritic joints of foot and ankle.

I maintain a membership with PA Podiatric Medical Association, American Podiatric Medical Association and American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.

I was born in a small town in India and grew up in suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. I have settled in the Lehigh Valley with my husband. In our free time, we love travelling to new cities, hiking, skiing, working out (cross-fit, boxing, swimming) and cooking delicious recipes.
