Meet the Staff

The staff at the Foot and Ankle Center is dedicated to making your visit as informative, helpful, and pleasant as possible. Our Manager is Sue Crozier. In addition to running the Center, Sue is also a registered nurse and frequently helps out in the clinic.

Dr. Chiodo's administrative assistant is Sakura Ohshima. Sakura is responsible for setting up new patient visits as well as surgery. If you do need an operation, she'll help to arrange your surgical date and pre-operative testing. She'll also obtain any necessary insurance approvals and schedule your post-operative visits. Scheduling surgery sometimes may seem complex and intimidating. Sakura understands this and is there to help to guide you through the process. Sakura is also available for general help with such tasks as scheduling follow-up appointments and arranging MRI and CT scans. She also assists with legal paperwork, medication refills, and general messages.

During your visit, you may also meet Shari Altamuro. Shari is a Physician Assistant who works at the Foot and Ankle Center. Shari is highly trained and sees patients both with Dr. Chiodo and on her own. She is also available to answer medical or surgical questions

Our Insurance Coordinator at the Foot and Ankle Center is Sabrina Perry. If needed, Sabrina will help to make sure that the referral for your office visit is in place. She's also available for help with questions about your individual insurance plan. Given today's complex and confusing healthcare system, Sabrina can be a great help.
