Auburn, Alabama Podiatrist

I am regularly asked by my patients and friends why I wanted to be a foot doctor and look at stinky feet all day. I always respond that I think feet are an amazing piece of machinery which hold up the entire body containing over one-fourth of the total number of bones in the human body.

When I was around eight years old, my uncle, who was a dental surgeon, would come to visit us and I was fascinated with what he learned and what he could do for other people. When I was 11 years old, I went to stay with him for the summer and I visited his office several times. The patient interaction, the opportunity to gain education and to continually learn especially the human body, impacted me so greatly that I decided then and there that I wanted to be a physician myself.

I visited several doctors and worked in a physical therapy clinic for 2 years while completing my pre-med requirements at the University of Utah. I became fascinated with the foot cases that came in the clinic and while working there, visited some of the premier podiatrists in Salt Lake City including a trainer for the Utah Jazz who was a podiatrist.

While attending the University of Utah, I met my wife Carol, who was at the time working on a master’s degree. We have four children, Daniel, Jessica, Melissa and Christina who are the spotlight of our life and who have all spent time working in the family business at Auburn Foot Care Center themselves.

Since we are family oriented, we strive to provide a personal family atmosphere and personal touch at our clinic. Our goal is to provide each patient with the latest and most effective treatment that is individualized to that particular patients’ needs. We focus on treating the disease, not just symptoms and we love transforming painful feet into happy feet.
