Our Staff
Office Manager
Cherie Kridner
Our incredible Office Manager is Cherie Kridner. After 15 years of top-notch experience in gastroenterology, she joined our team in September of 2018. Her extensive knowledge and abilities make her an outstanding office manager. Cherie is someone who truly understands, serves, and loves our patients.
When she isn’t working, Cherie spends her time enjoying life and the people she loves most: her husband, children, grandchildren, and family. She is a woman of faith who loves to play with her two fur babies (LuLu and Taco), listen to (and sing) music, write poetry (some published!), read a good book, and show her competitive side when she watches game shows and plays board, card or electronic games with her husband!
Medical Assistant
Karla Bonilla
After graduating from Med Tech College with her MA degree, Karla Bonilla began working in the podiatric field in 2016. Since joining our team in February of 2019, she has continued to add to her specialized set of skills which are unique to podiatry. Her warm, bubbly, caring personality instantly helps to put people at ease.

Receptionist
Jessica Zelaya
The cheerful voice you hear when you call our office and the smiling face that you see when you come in belongs to Jessica Zelaya. Joining our team in November of 2019, Jessica is the newest member of the Advanced Ankle and Foot family. Her kindness, laughter, and professionalism make each person who walks into our office feel welcomed and “at home”. Outside of the office, Jessica can be found at the beach, catching waves and trying to catch some fish.
She is a force to be reckoned with on the soccer field and she never turns away from an adventure. Her family is the center of her world … but those who know her would argue that it’s Chick-fil-A that really has her heart!
