At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with an attention to on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from conventional disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities.
