About Peter

Director of Family Foot & Ankle Specialists

"I like to treat everyone including children, active adults and the elderly. The feet are so important for maintaining our lifestyles. My goal is to treat people gently and quickly, so they can get back to their activities as soon as possible. It's my philosophy that people want to be on, not off their feet, and that's how I approach the treatment of their problem."
