Why did you want to be a podiatrist?
I always knew that I wanted to do something in the medical field. After shadowing a number of different specialties, I found that podiatry afforded great variety in the types of pathology and patients treated. I
also found that I really enjoyed in-office procedures and surgery. It is extremely rewarding to send patients home feeling better than when they came into their appointment.
