Most of our member doctors are podiatric and/or orthopedic surgeons with years of experience in treating foot and ankle problems of all types. Most attend our biannual scientific seminars and receive our MemberFax updates so that are up to date on the latest advancements in foot and ankle surgical techniques.

    Most of our member doctors are experts in minimally invasive surgery which tends to allow for a more rapid recovery with less pain. These procedures are generally performed in office surgical suites as well as ambulatory surgery centers. Hospitalization is rarely required.

    Also, most minimally invasive techniques do not require the use of pins, screws, wires, casts, or crutches. Patients may generally walk in, have surgery performed, and walk out. That's why we call it ambulatory foot and ankle surgery. more info...
