My Interests
Dr. Saylee Tulpule was raised in Phoenix, Arizona where she graduated Magna Cum Laude from Arizona State University in 2003. During her college education, she gained a special interest in podiatric medicine when her mother was diagnosed with a foot condition. Dr. Tulpule then pursued her podiatric education at the California School of Podiatric Medicine in Oakland, CA where she graduated third in her class. She then completed her three year Podiatric Surgical Residency at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center in Long Beach, CA where she received extensive training in foot surgery, including forefoot and ankle surgery, diabetic wound care, and sports medicine. Dr. Tulpule also served as Chief Resident of her residency program.

Dr. Tulpule has a professional interest in sports medicine, elective forefoot and rearfoot surgery, generalized podiatric care, and diabetic foot care. Her approach to successful patient management involves educating her patients, providing evidence-based medicine, and an honest approach to patient care.

She is married to Vipin Motwani, who has a Masters in Business Administration from Arizona State University. He owns his own real estate investment company in the DC-Metro area. They currently reside in Arlington, VA.

Dr. Tulpule's personal interests include cooking, travelling, spending time with family and friends, and watching basketball.
