He received his doctor of podiatric medicine degree from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco in 1988. Following medical school, he completed a rigorous podiatric surgical residency at Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis-Georgetown, Tennessee, further honing his surgical skills and clinical expertise.
