He graduated from the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine at Temple University in 1989, trained in podiatric surgery and diabetic foot care at the Saint Barnabas Medical Center residency program in New Jersey, and has practiced in Washington DC since 1991. He serves as president of the American Society of Foot and Ankle Dermatology.

Treatment options include ToeFX light therapy for nail fungus, shockwave therapy for pain, digital casting for custom orthotics, and SWIFT therapy for wart removal. Bunion surgery is often performed on an out-patient basis, with many patients walking on the operative foot within a few days. The office accepts check, cash, and major credit cards, submits insurance forms on patients' behalf, and asks for at least 24 hours notice for cancellations.

The office is on New Mexico Avenue NW, about a tenth of a mile from Horace Mann Elementary School and a short walk from Wesley Heights. Nebraska Avenue Northwest and Massachusetts Avenue Northwest are each roughly three tenths of a mile away, as are Bender Library and American University.

With two board certified podiatric physicians offering both conservative care and minimally invasive surgery, Foxhall Podiatry Associates serves Washington DC patients dealing with everything from heel pain to complex foot and ankle deformity.
