“The best part of my job is when I’m able to see a patient return to me pain-free.”

As a board-certified podiatric surgeon, my expertise is focused on reconstructive surgery and surgical and nonsurgical treatment of all problems related to the foot and ankle. When not seeing patients, I enjoy hunting, fishing, golfing, and spending time with my wife and family.

“Dr. Sticha was amazing. Very nice and personable, was always polite and answered whatever questions I had. I broke my ankle and leg, the surgery went great and my recovery even greater. I haven't had any problems in 2 years.”
