Podiatrist Jason LaPorte, DPM, joined Winona Health and now sees podiatry patients on the clinic third floor, 855 Mankato Avenue in Winona.
Dr. LaPorte, a California native, said, “Although my wife and I are from California, our families are now spread out all over, so going back wouldn’t really feel like home. I interviewed at a lot of organizations, and my wife and I explored a lot of communities. Within half a day, we knew Winona Health and Winona were what we were looking for to raise our family.”
When asked why he felt that way, Dr. LaPorte said, “People are genuinely happy to be here, both in Winona and at Winona Health. You don’t get that feeling everywhere. People are welcoming and friendly, and there’s a team atmosphere among the physicians and staff. Out in the community, people are enjoying the outdoors and have been friendly and welcoming. We’re excited to be here and are looking forward to exploring.”
Dr. LaPorte earned his doctor of Podiatric Medicine at Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona and completed his residency as Chief Resident at United Health Services in Johnson City, New York. His experience includes managing complex and chronic wounds. He’s also served as an associate clinical faculty member at State University of NY Upstate Medical School in Syracuse, NY. He is a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
Dr. LaPorte joins Winona Health podiatrists Michael Donnenwerth, DPM, FACFAS, and Thomas Nachtigal, DPM.
He and his wife have five young children and they are looking forward to making Winona their home.
