Dr. Morris’ first exposure to podiatry came through a deeply personal experience with her brother, who suffered from frequent ankle injuries. These injuries kept him from playing the sports he loved, leaving him frustrated and in pain. But after seeking treatment from a skilled podiatrist, he was able to recover and return to his active lifestyle, pain-free. Dr. Morris was struck by the relationship between her brother and his doctor. She was impressed by how the podiatrist not only treated the injury but also genuinely cared for her brother’s well-being, restoring his quality of life.

At that moment, Dr. Morris knew that she wanted to be the kind of doctor who could have a similar impact on her future patients.
