At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough medical instruction with a focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage difficulties extending from familiar ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the expertise necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.
Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities.
