Throughout her residency training, Dr. Tu had a comprehensive exposure to foot and ankle trauma at a Level I Trauma Center, elective and reconstructive forefoot and rearfoot surgery, advanced limb salvage techniques, lower extremity wound care, and general podiatric medicine. Additionally, she had extensive experience working on a multidisciplinary limb salvage team at NYP-Cornell, striving to prevent limb loss and reserve function for each of her patients.
Throughout her undergraduate and doctoral studies, Dr. Tu has engaged in a number of research projects and developed a randomization app for junior clinical faculty. She also presented multiple abstracts and posters during her residency.
Her current interest is to raise the concern of podiatric health literacy, bridge the gap between patients and medicine, and also increase the awareness of diabetic foot care in the Chinese community. Her father is a Chinese immigrant. After seeing her father’s struggle with diabetes and limb length discrepancy, she would like to be a part of the solution.
Now, Dr. Tu is one of the specialists at the Metropolitan Foot & Ankle Group.
Outside of her professional life, Dr. Tu enjoys singing, hiking, and visiting museums.
