“To me joining the Air Force was a leap of faith,” Servino said. “I was seven years in civilian practice, but realized I wasn’t ready to settle down and ‘itch- ing’ for a change. I knew I could handle military life again after serving my Army obligation as a podiatrist right after residency, butsaidifIwasevertogobackin the military, I would go Air Force this time. Luckily, my better half agreed to our new adventure.
“After 18 years and five tours, I can honestly say it was all well worth it,” he added. “Certainly, the positives have outweighed the negatives. I’m not so sure I would have had the same travel and professional opportunities in civilian practice not to men- tion the camaraderie of being part of something bigger than just myself or my profession.

We strive to carry out all of a patient’s needs at each appointment to minimize unnecessary trips to the hospital.
