Dr. Kravitz is affiliated with Onvida Health and he takes great pride in having become the first Podiatric Surgeon with surgical privileges at Y.R.M.C. Dr. Kravitz is certified in Total Ankle Replacement Surgery. He often gets asked, Why feet? “As a child I saw the podiatrist regularly for a number of problems. I learned at an early age that when the feet hurt, the whole body hurts.”
He lives in Yuma with his wife Jacqueline, daughter Jillian, son Cooper and two dogs. Time permitting, he enjoys travelling, music, sports and cooking.
