These visits to the podiatrist sparked her interest in the field and led her to eventually apply to podiatry school. She has now been practicing as a podiatrist in the Miami Beach area for 20 years. “Podiatry appeals to me because you are often able to make patients feel better on their first visit,” Dr. Detweiler says. Dr. Detweiler graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia and then headed south to Miami to attend Barry University’s School of Podiatric Medicine.
