“I chose SVH because I feel connected to this community,” he said. “It is my hope to provide quality and timely specialized care in a convenient location. There is a need for specialty foot and ankle care in the district and I look forward to working with existing services to coordinate patient care to help reduce pain and improve function for patients.”
