Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained encompassing medical training with an importance on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage concerns extending from conventional disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot.
