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.
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions from our nationally recognized Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
