Dr. Hayman received her Doctorate from Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine in Miami, Florida, and completed her three-year residency in Foot and Ankle Reconstructive Surgery at Cambridge Health Alliance - Harvard Medical School, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her exposure to the latest innovations has afforded her the comfort and expertise to accurately evaluate and effectively treat lower extremity ailments of all age groups, ranging from congenital deformities of the pediatric foot and ankle to acquired conditions of the adult and geriatric lower extremities. It is, however, her professional demeanor, empathy and compassion towards patients, that truly sets her apart from her peers. Dr. Hayman believes in a patient-centered approach to medicine that emphasizes education and collaboration. She takes the time to explain diagnoses and treatment options, empowering her patients to make informed decisions about their care. Her goal is not just to alleviate symptoms, but to restore mobility and enhance the overall quality of life for each individual.

When she is not treating patients, Dr. Hayman can be found spending time with her family, hiking, playing squash, and doing yoga. Born and raised in Jamaica, she is an islander at heart and finds every reason she can to visit the beach when possible!
