Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical education with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat conditions extending from usual disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the expertise crucial to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.
