Best Osteoarthritis of Foot Doctors in Stillwater, MN

As an orthopedic surgeon with fellowship training in sports medicine, I provide complete care of shoulder, hip and knee conditions. Over the past 20 years, I have cared for athletes at all levels high school, collegiate and professional. I have also spent many hours on the sidelines providing medical coverage. My favorite conditions to treat are hip arthritis using a minimally invasive direct anterior approach to hip replacement, ACL and meniscus injuries, arthritis of the knee and rotator cuff tears. My goal is to eliminate pain and restore function to allow my patients to live their lives to the fullest.

I provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for the foot and ankle. I became interested in podiatry as a runner in junior high school. The three areas I enjoy the most are repair of fractures and dislocations, repair of deformities such as bunions, and sports medicine as related to the foot and ankle. In addition, I work to bring relief through reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.

I enjoy my work as a podiatrist because I have the opportunity to help improve my patients' health, well-being and quality of life each day. I also enjoy being able to continuously learn as the industry advances and teach as I work with patients. I have special interest in thorough evaluation with multiple treatment options and patient education of the many foot and ankle deformities, foot and ankle injuries and activity-related foot and ankle concerns for people of all ages.

I am a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with expertise in fracture surgery and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. My goal is to listen to my patients, understand their goals, and strive to deliver the best possible outcome through conservative treatments and surgery when necessary. My practice specializes in acute extremity fractures, sports-related injuries, as well as the management of chronic ankle arthritis and foot deformities. Through a comprehensive approach, I aim to provide the highest level of care and help my patients regain their mobility and quality of life.
