Dr. Somma joined the Rappahannock Foot and Ankle team in June 2026. Originally from upstate New York, she has lived throughout the Northeast before happily relocating to Fredericksburg, Virginia, where she is proud to serve the community as part of the practice. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University at Albany before receiving her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She then completed a rigorous three-year forefoot and rearfoot surgical residency in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, where she received extensive training in bunion and hammertoe correction, ankle arthroscopy, ankle instability and repair, minimally invasive surgery, sports medicine, and traumatic injuries.

Dr. Somma is board qualified in both Foot Surgery and Reconstructive Rearfoot and Ankle Surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery. She is also an active member of the American Podiatric Medical Association and is committed to advancing the field of podiatric medicine. Her most recent research was published in January 2026.

Dedicated to providing comprehensive, personalized care, Dr. Somma believes in developing treatment plans tailored to each patient’s individual needs. She offers both conservative and surgical treatment options, drawing on her extensive training to help patients relieve pain, restore function, and return to the activities they enjoy as safely and efficiently as possible.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Somma enjoys hiking with her dog, exploring America’s National Parks, painting, and creating pottery.
