When not caring for patients, Dr. Hetman enjoys family time with his wife Rhonda and his two children, Zoe and Jake. To relax, he hits the golf course, plays guitar, and coaches youth sports.
Experienced, Compassionate Foot Care
Our doctors believe in taking the time to explain every diagnosis and treatment option so you can make confident decisions about your care. Whenever possible, they begin with conservative treatments such as custom orthotics and EPAT shock wave therapy, and when surgery is the right choice, they offer advanced procedures including Lapiplasty.
Our podiatrists see patients at both our Gessner and Greenhouse offices. Read reviews from their patients on our testimonials page, view results in our before and after gallery, or learn more about our practice.
