“My fellowship year in Columbus was my favorite year in training (even though I was surrounded by Ohio state fans)! I participated in a very high volume and wide variety of both complex and routine surgical procedures with some of the most well-respected surgeons in the country. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to be selected for such a competitive position that I believe has been instrumental in developing a high level of knowledge and skill set in the field of foot and ankle surgery.”
