GETTING TO KNOW DR. SARAH HALLER

At Essex Union Podiatry, we are excited to be adding Dr. Sarah E. Haller to our ranks. We sat down with Dr. Haller to learn more about her and what she has to offer our patients.

A. As a child, I was a ballet dancer for 15 years and on pointe for four. After daily practice, my feet would ache incessantly. We found a podiatrist who helped me with a simple in-office procedure and recommendations for the future, allowing me to dance pain-free.

Having someone alleviate your pain so you can pursue individual goals was pivotal. That experience left a resonating impression on me and guides me when I care for my patients.

A. Yes. As a fellow, I was involved in a multitude of ongoing projects involving a wide variety of topics ranging from trauma to nail pathology. I have continued this pursuit of research to share valid studies that improve the daily lives of patients everywhere.

After receiving a grant to investigate Lisfranc trauma and determining the most definitive care for patients to yield the best outcomes.

Additionally, I recently completed a chapter on bilateral bunion surgery. This procedure corrects the deformity and allows patients to return to shoe gear a week after surgery.

A. The specific training I have focused on is in revision surgery. Revision surgery includes people who have had surgeries that were not as successful as expected as well as those with traumatic sports injuries. I thrive on turning these situations back into successes and helping people regain their active lifestyles.
