What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I hope to give people valuable information that will improve their lives. Too often, when people see their Drs. they are rushed and do not get a chance to ask questions. Hopefully I can help.

What do you like about this subject? This is my chosen profession and I enjoy helping others.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: 25% of bones in the human body are located in the feet! The feet can be one of the most indicative signs of an individual's health. Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis and circulatory problems can often show themselves initially in the feet. The average person walks about 10,000 steps a day.
