“No matter what we chose to do in life, it is important that we pursue it with character and integrity. I was fortunate that one of my heroes, my father, had tons of both. He set a great example and gave me a solid foundation upon which to build my career. Oddly enough I’ve chosen to specialize in those areas of the body, the foot and ankle, which provide our foundation to navigate through
life every day.” – David A. Porter, MD
