Dr. An is passionate about practicing evidence-based medicine and pursuing research to advance the field of foot and ankle surgery. She works as part of a team with other orthopedic specialists, neurologists, physiatrists, and therapists to help patients achieve the best clinical outcomes. Dr. An believes in understanding each individual’s circumstances and goals to create a personalized care plan. When surgery is deemed the best option, Dr. An guides her patients through every step of getting back on their feet.
Dr. An has been involved in extensive research studying clinical outcomes after surgical correction of foot deformities caused by Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a hereditary condition that results in weaker and smaller muscles. Her work has appeared in several peer-reviewed scientific journals, including Foot & Ankle International and the Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery, among others. She has also written textbook chapters on flatfoot and bunion surgical techniques, metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot), and Lisfranc (midfoot) injuries.
Dr. An is a licensed physician in California and New York.

Kanwaljeet S. Anand
Professor of Pediatrics (Pediatric Critical Care) and of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Anand is a translational clinical researcher who pioneered research on the endocrine-metabolic stress responses of infants undergoing surgery and developed the first-ever scientific rationale for pain perception in early life. This provided a framework for newer methods of pain assessment, numerous clinical trials of analgesia/anesthesia in newborns, infants and older children. His research focus over the past 30+ years has contributed fundamental knowledge about pediatric pain/stress, long-term effects of pain in early life, management of pain, mechanisms for opioid tolerance and withdrawal. Current projects in his laboratory are focused on developing biomarkers for repetitive pain/stress in critically ill children and the mechanisms underlying sedative/anesthetic neurotoxicity in the immature brain. He designed and directed many randomized clinical trials (RCT), including the largest-ever pediatric analgesia trial studying morphine therapy in ventilated preterm neonates. He has extensive experience in clinical and translational research from participating in collaborative networks funded by NIMH, NINDS, or NICHD, a track-record of excellent collaboration across multiple disciplines, while achieving success with large research teams like the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network (CPCCRN). He played a leadership roles in CANDLE (Condition Affecting Neuro-Development & Learning in Early infancy) and other activities of the Urban Child Institute and UT Neuroscience Institute. More recently, he led the NeoOpioid Consortium funded by the European Commission, which collected data from 243 NICUs in 18 European countries.
