Zach Cristaldi 

I became interested in podiatry after experiencing the benefits of foot and lower limb care firsthand as my involvement in sport increased. The positive impact of having a knowledgeable and approachable clinician inspired me to provide that same level of care to my own patients. I have a particular interest in biomechanics, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal podiatry, with experience in orthotic manufacturing helping shape my understanding of movement and patient care. I enjoy working with patients to understand the factors contributing to their symptoms and developing practical treatment approaches that align with their goals.Outside of the clinic, I enjoy staying active and participating in a wide range of sports, proudly describing myself as a “jack of all sports and master of none.”
