He was schooled in all aspects of podiatric medicine with a focus on forefoot surgery, rearfoot/ankle reconstruction, diabetic limb salvage, and sports medicine. In his third year, Dr. Pagano was the chief resident.

Upon completion of his residency, Dr. Pagano and his wife, Alayna, founded Barking Dogs Foot & Ankle Care. In addition to providing the highest quality care and services to the city of Philadelphia and surrounding suburbs, Dr. Pagano is an adjunct professor in Pediatrics at Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine. He has great enthusiasm for his profession, and is passionate about the future podiatrists he teaches.

Dr. Pagano believes communication is the key to excellent patient care. He enjoys getting to know his patients and wants them to be comfortable with him as a person before a doctor. “By gaining my patients trust and respect, they are more open with me and I am better able to serve them.”
