Dr. Dannielle VonDerLinden has always been passionate about helping people. As a child, she recognized her passion for helping people and soon decided that when she “grew up” she wanted a career that allowed her to help people every time she went to work. As her interest in science and medicine grew, she knew that if she became a doctor, she would be able to realize the life that she dreamed of.
As a medical professional, Dr. VonDerLinden provides high-quality, compassionate care tailored to each patient’s needs, whether through conservative treatments or surgical intervention. She is a highly sought-after and respected foot and ankle specialist who thrives when she can provide her patients with a level of care and the true art of doctoring that few physicians can give.
Through her work as a foot and ankle specialist and helping patients who suffer from injuries, chronic pain, biomechanical issues, nail complaints, and skin disorders, she recognized that many of her patients also needed professional wound care. She also thought about how hard it is for many of her patients to get to medical appointments, especially when they are in pain, uncomfortable, have mobility issues, or have to spend extensive time arranging and traveling to them.
Continuing with Dr. VanDerLinden’s passion for helping people and providing patients with personalized care, coupled with her experience running an on-site medical practice, she recognized a need for and developed a high-quality, efficient, cost-effective, and compassion-based mobile nursing service that specializes in wound care.
Prior to the doctor’s professional experience and endeavors, Dr. VanDerLinden earned a Bachelor of Science in Microbiology and a Master of Science in Management from the University of Florida. She went on to earn a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Barry University and then authored six scientific articles. She served a three-year surgical residency at Northwest Medical Center in Florida, where she gained extensive reconstructive surgical training for feet and ankles. During her third year of training, she was chosen to be Chief Resident and enjoyed these duties and responsibilities.
Throughout her training and experience as a foot and ankle specialist, Dr. VanDerLinden has appreciated any opportunity she has to help people heal and feel better. She thrives when she can give patients her undivided attention and strives to make one-to-one medical care accessible to anyone who needs it.
Now in private practice in northern Virginia, Dr. VonDerLinden is dedicated to personalized patient care.
