As a second-generation podiatrist, I was born and raised in California and was inspired by my favorite uncle, Dr. Harold Weiner, a successful Brooklyn, NY, podiatrist, to pursue a career in podiatry. I am proud to be a foot and ankle surgeon certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery, practicing in Newport Beach, CA, for over 35 years. I graduated from the Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine after receiving my undergraduate degree from Cal State Fullerton. I received my Master’s Degree in Public Health from The University of Illinois and my Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine from The Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine.
