Division of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery

The Division of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery provides comprehensive care of the foot, ankle and lower leg, addressing foot and leg biomechanics, sports injuries, foot trauma, palliative and accommodative care, and comprehensive, advanced wound care and limb salvage. We also offer reparative and reconstructive surgeries to correct foot deformities. Our board certified podiatrists are experienced in all aspects of foot care. We evaluate and resolve foot abnormalities with a focus on returning patients to an optimal lifestyle in terms of health, comfort and level of activity. The Division’s podiatrists work closely with our orthopaedic and medical colleagues to address issues of the foot and other medical conditions, in order to provide the most comprehensive care to our patients.
