Foot and ankle surgeons are podiatric physicians who specialize in the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of a variety of conditions that affect people of every age.
A foot and ankle surgeon holds an advanced degree as a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM). Podiatric medicine deals with the bones, soft tissues, and function of the foot and ankle, as well as how podiatric conditions may relate to other parts of the body.
Foot and ankle surgeons provide a wide range of care-from nonsurgical methods to correct common podiatric problems to state-of-the-art corrective and reconstructive surgical techniques.
