Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained encompassing healthcare training with an attention to on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for conditions ranging from basic problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks.
