 It's something that is hidden in a shoe day to day. No one's ever typically out there complaining of how bad their feet are because people assume that that's okay but in reality it's not okay to have painful feet. I treat everything from newborns with club feet all the way to geriatrics and everything in between. I love the teenagers that come in with painful flat feet or the athletes that have bone bruises and ankle sprains and I'm able to kind of get people running, walking and doing the things that they enjoy the most. In a rather quick way. The coolest thing about the foot and ankle is that you have a balance that has to be obtained and maintained. I think that this balance is almost always achieved by a foot that functions appropriately and I think that if you can have a way to sometimes realign things and really make a difference in people's lives to get them functioning all that much better and also it's very gratifying when you have a situation where someone's had a problem for a very long time and you happen to be the lucky one to catch it and be able to fix it that to me is probably the most gratifying part about treating foot and ankle pathology. I think for me personally the best thing is that I'm always able to learn and become a lifelong learner while being at work. Oftentimes I like to see my post-ops I think that really is very exciting for me. It's almost like unwrapping a present at Christmas you know just seeing how things are doing and how people are doing and how they're feeling and just I typically ride the emotions of my patients which is sort of for better or for worse but when they're happy I am really happy.
