Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
