Podiatry
Put Your Best Foot Forward
Our podiatrists will make sure you can—they’re available for convenient care at our clinics, and they’re on their toes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for hospital and emergency care.
We leave no detail unturned—we’re experts from consultation to surgery, forefoot to ankle reconstruction. We tend to take the most conservative approach to your care, saving surgery as a last resort, even though we’ve got the training for that, too.
The North Memorial Health Advantage
- We empower you to make the best decision for your care by teaching you about your condition and the options for treatment.
- We work directly with other specialties, resulting in the highest level of care and communication.
- We also stand tall behind the research we do to propel the field of podiatry forward. We’re committed to educating doctors, University of Minnesota medical residents, physician assistants, medical students—and most importantly, you, as the patient—with any important, evidence–based information we discover.
