\nI was raised in the Midwest and recently moved to Bakersfield from the Pacific Northwest where I spent several years in private practice. I am excited about beginning practice in California and meeting new patients in Bakersfield and the Tehachapi areas; I am extremely proud to work with my colleagues at the Foot & Ankle Institute. My interests include sports medicine, Diabetic care, and surgical reconstruction. \u00a0Outside of practice, I enjoy reading, as well as outdoor activities including hiking, jogging, cycling, and playing tennis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
