Karla Tarricone, DPM
Assistant Professor/Clinical
Dr. Karla Tarricone is a highly accomplished bilingual (English/Spanish) podiatric surgeon specializing in foot and ankle deformity correction. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from East Stroudsburg University. Dr. Tarricone then earned her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, where she made the Dean’s List, was inducted into the Pi Delta Honor Society and received numerous scholarships. She is a member of various professional organizations including the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) and the American Association of Women Podiatrists (AAWP). She has also been very involved with the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS); she has served on two committees contributing to promoting the profession as a student and resident mentor, and has been a moderator of podcasts and lectures at the annual scientific meetings.
Following medical school, Dr. Tarricone completed a rigorous Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency at Lenox Hill Hospital at Northwell Health. Her passion for learning and advancement in the field led her to pursue a Foot and Ankle Deformity Correction Fellowship at the prestigious Paley Orthopedic & Spine Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Dr. Tarricone is enthusiastic about helping children and adults regain mobility and improving their quality of life. Her background in dance and cheerleading has given her a unique perspective on foot and ankle health, and her fellowship training allows her to provide the most advanced care possible. When she is not in the office, Dr. Tarricone relishes spending time with her family, cuddling with her lovable Schnauzer, and enjoys fashion and shopping.
