Foot and Ankle

Foot and Ankle physicians/ surgeons specialize in the lowest part of the leg and the ankle. These doctors received specialized training to treat the many problems affecting the feet and ankles. There are many difficulties that stem from halfway down the lower leg all the way to the toes, which makes this a highly specialized area for a physician to be an expert.

Different types of surgeons can treat these conditions surgically and non-surgically including orthopedic surgeons (MD’s/DO’s) and podiatric physicians (DPM’s).  Often times, additional training after residency is necessary and many of these surgeons will have completed a Fellowship to learn more advanced surgical techniques.
