Jennifer Lynne Pappalardo, DPM

I take the time to respond to the personal needs of each patient.

My goal is for patients to look forward to their appointments as if they are visiting family or a close friend. I strive to create a comfortable environment that facilitates open and honest communication that enables accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans. I believe one of the most powerful components to patient care is patient education. I empower my patients with knowledge that promotes an active role in their treatment which I have found leads to improved outcomes.

I chose Podiatry Foot and Ankle Surgery, because there is a growing need for our profession to treat foot problems as the aging population increases, and because of the experiences I had working with some diabetic patients. My unique approach to patient care is that I treat my patients, not just their symptoms. Some key factors that make for a successful patient-doctor relationship are empathy, making them feel comfortable and gaining trust by truly listening to their foot problems. Clear communication and understanding between me and my patients result in accomplishing the purpose of their visit. At the end of the day, I would love my patients to say that I was an excellent listener and that I tried to help them to the best of my abilities.
