Ankle and foot doctors are specialists who have undergone medical training that allows them to expertly diagnose and treat injuries and conditions of the foot and ankle. While these doctors are often able to treat a foot and ankle issue without surgery, they also have the surgical skills needed to perform foot and ankle surgery.
At Orthopaedic Associates, our foot and ankle doctors, Dr. Mark Tenholder, Dr. David Dean, and Dr. Jake Hawkins, are recognized experts in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle injuries and conditions. Our orthopaedists have extensive training and experience in the surgical and nonsurgical care of the foot and ankle and are dedicated to providing you with the specialized, compassionate care you need to become stronger.
Expert Foot & Ankle Care for a Stronger You
When our orthopaedists develop a treatment plan for a patient with an ankle injury or foot condition, their first step is always to consider nonsurgical treatment options first. Sometimes, there are nonoperative treatments, such as diabetic foot care, physical therapy, or orthotics, that can provide relief for a patient’s injury or condition. However, sometimes the patient’s ankle or foot issue has become so problematic that orthopaedic surgery is the best choice.
If ankle surgery or foot surgery is the best option for you, our board-certified and specialty-trained ankle and foot surgeons will work with you to create a surgical treatment plan that is right for your injury or condition. Our surgical team is equipped with state-of-the-art technology as well as the knowledge and surgical skills needed to treat your ankle or foot problem and get you on the road to becoming stronger.
