Foot and Ankle

Doctors with Expertise in This Area:

Justin K. Greisberg, MD

The Foot and Ankle Service is specialized to handle the myriad of problems that can affect adults. The human foot is quite different than any other in the animal kingdom. It possesses enough flexibility to accommodate uneven terrain, yet at the same time has the stability to maintain the longitudinal arch and support prolonged bipedal gait. Specialized bones, joints, and muscles work together to achieve this unique combination of stability and flexibility.

Problems can arise in any of these specialized structures. Our approach is to view problems in one structure in the larger context of the entire foot and ankle. A disorder in one part of the foot affects the others, so no foot problem can be viewed in isolation.

The Foot and Ankle Service is skilled in the use of the latest medications, braces, and orthotics to provide a safe and speedy recovery. If surgery is necessary, we have extensive experience with procedures ranging from bunion surgery to the most complex reconstructions, including limb realignment, diabetic reconstruction, and primary and revision total ankle replacement.
