Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable healthcare instruction with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat concerns varying from typical ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.
