   I am a DPM (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine & Surgery) who specializes in pediatrics with a special interest in sports medicine and biomechanics for both adults and pediatrics. I received my degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine from Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine in Miami, FL. I then underwent an extensive multi-year surgical training in the Worcester area at the UMASS and St. Vincent Hospitals with special emphasis on pediatrics. I am a member of the American College of Foot & Ankle Pediatrics.I am currently in private practice with an office in West Hatfield, MA. I am a member of the surgical & medical staff at Holyoke Hospital and Franklin Medical Center.I am the Director and originator of the Adult Gait Labs Biomechanics Clinic which takes place biweekly at my office. The clinic began in 2004 at Cooley Dickinson Hospital. Monthly, alongside Ms. Roberta Nole (Owner Stride Custom Orthotics Lab and Inventor of the Foot Typing System) and a multidisciplinary team, including but not limited to Physical Therapists (both pediatric and Adult), massage therapists, chiropractors, and orthotists. My team evaluates the most challenging of biomechanics patients and helps to find them answers through orthoses and therapy. I was director from 20••••10 of a weekly Lower Extremity Podo-Orthopedic clinic t in Northampton, MA. Mid 2010 the pediatric clinic was relocated to my private offices. Several times a year I lecture both internationally and nationally to peers and specialists associated with adult and pediatric biomechanics. I also routinely lecture to both adult and pediatric organizations, groups, and schools.
