CASSELBERRY, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Just in time for summer activities: podiatric surgeon Divyesh Mehta, DPM, is bringing his expertise in Charcot foot reconstruction, a surgical procedure to correct serious complications typically resulting from diabetic-related neuropathy, to Modern Foot & Ankle.

"Charcot reconstruction is a specialized surgical procedure aimed at correcting deformities and stabilizing the foot and ankle in patients with Charcot neuroarthropathy, a condition often associated with diabetes and neuropathy," he explained. "Through comprehensive evaluation and advanced surgical techniques, I aim to improve mobility, function, and quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions."

Relocating from Miami, Dr. Mehta decided to join Modern Foot & Ankle, a leading podiatric group with offices in Central Florida, South Florida, and Texas, "because of its reputation for excellence in patient care and commitment to innovation and collaboration." He says that he was "drawn to the opportunity to work alongside skilled professionals who share a passion for providing top-notch healthcare services and making a positive impact in the lives of patients."

Starting Thursday, Dr. Mehta will be able to put those aspirations into practice when he begins seeing patients at the Lake Mary and Casselberry locations. The locations feature the group's signature experience: friendly team members, extended office hours, advanced on-site equipment, and convenient online scheduling and check-in services.

"I am thrilled to practice here because of the exciting developments and innovations taking place within the community," elaborated Dr. Mehta. "These advancements offer tremendous opportunities for growth, collaboration, and the enhancement of patient care. Being part of a dynamic environment that embraces progress inspires me to consistently improve my practice and deliver the highest level of care to our patients."

Modern Foot & Ankle patients will benefit from the newest associate's comprehensive approach to podiatric care.

Dark Matter Technologies appoints former Ellie Mae executive as deputy chief product officer

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dark Matter Technologies (Dark Matter) today announced the appointment of Vikas Rao as deputy chief product officer. Reporting directly to Chief Product Officer Stephanie Durflinger, Rao is charged with overseeing enhancements to the Empower® loan origination system (LOS) and establishing Dark Matter's developer community, which will help lenders embed automation deeper in their origination workflows and more tightly integrate their systems using open application programming interfaces (APIs) and widgets.

"Dark Matter's pioneering advancements in automation and AI are reshaping the mortgage landscape," Rao said. "I'm eager to apply my expertise to propel Dark Matter's mission forward, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in mortgage origination and amplifying our impact on the homebuying experience of lenders and consumers alike."

"Vikas has an impressive track record of success in driving digital innovation and API utilization in mortgage origination," said Dark Matter CEO Rich Gagliano. "With his technical chops and effective leadership style, Vika will play a pivotal role in our mission to empower lenders through AI, automation and innovation."

Rao has over 15 years of experience in software engineering, product management and technology leadership spanning public and private companies within the mortgage industry and in Silicon Valley's startup scene. He holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in computer science and is a 2017 graduate of Stanford University's Stanford Ignite executive education program.
