I’m shoe blogger podiatrist, Dr. Colleen Schwartz, focused on expert sourcing & identifying fabulous yet comfortable shoes. I invite you to schedule a telemedicine appointment to discuss your foot and shoe needs.

Veteran’s Hospital/ Stanford podiatric surgery trained, I practiced surgery & wound care until a career altering injury. In nonprofit roles, I served as Executive Director of the American Association for Women Podiatrists, spokesperson for the American Podiatric Medical Association & chair of the California Podiatric Medical Association Public Information & Education Committee (2010 volunteer of the year). Focusing on health & wellness, I developed an infection prevention pedicure kit and was a national beauty & fitness industry speaker on nail salon safety & Pilates for rehabilitation. 

 Before arriving in Iowa, I incorporated acupuncture with Pilates rehabilitation in a busy multi physician practice in California while serving as a medical advisor & shoe consultant after completing the year long acupuncture for physician continuing education program at Harvard Medical School. 

On a very personal level, since coming to Iowa, I was diagnosed & surgically treated for a brain tumor. Currently I am on chemotherapy to go after another tumor…this time a large, locally aggressive, rare, & intermediate grade desmoid sarcoma.  I know what’s most valuable in life: faith, family & friends…but great shoes and pain-free feet are important too. My passion is problem solving to find solutions for foot problems and the perfect pair of shoes for you.
