At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical education with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions extending from conventional conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the expertise vital to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.
