At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive health care education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to manage conditions ranging from commonplace ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
