“I am proud to be a part of the Hughston Clinic, which I believe provides not only high quality but comprehensive musculoskeletal care through many sub-specialties. My sub-specialty training in orthopedic foot and ankle surgery allows me to provide a customized surgical or non-surgical treatment strategy for my patients. My wife and I are proud to be raising our family in our home state and have enjoyed getting involved in the Columbus community.”
