Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks.
