As a podiatrist in Visalia, California the most important thing to Dr. Florek is the well-being of his patients.
Growing up in Utah Dr. Florek always wanted to be a doctor. When it came time to apply to medical school he wanted to pick a specialty in which he could make an impact on disease and still have a close relationship with his patients.
As he shadowed numerous doctors, the thing that stuck out to him was how happy the podiatrists in his community were. They loved their patients and their patients loved them. It seemed like a perfect fit. Four years of podiatry school and three rigorous years of residency training later, that is still what he loves most.
His special interests in podiatry include trauma, pediatric and adult foot and ankle deformity, and managing the complications of diabetes.
Dr. Florek lives in the Central Valley with his wife and 4 growing children.
