Temple Podiatrists and reconstructive surgeons Dr. Kwasi Kwaadu, Dr. Andrew Meyr, and Dr. Jennifer Van, have collaborated with Vascular Surgeon, Dr. Eric T. Choi, Director of Limb Salvage at TUHS, Infectious Disease physicians Dr. Peter Axelrod and Dr. Rafik Samuel, Endocrinologist Dr. Elias S. Siraj, and Dr. Roy Steinhouse of the Psychiatry department.  Studies support that a multidisciplinary approach reduces diabetic complications and decreases the incidence of hospital re-admissions.  This collaboration will be used to help decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with diabetes, as well as decreasing the incidence of misdiagnoses or delay in diagnosis through physician education.
