Director: American Board of Lower Extremity Surgery
At Apache Foot and Ankle Specialists, we are a one-stop shop for all of your foot and ankle needs. We hire only the most highly-trained and ethical physicians and foot surgeons in Las Vegas to tend to your problems and pain. We pride ourselves on our honesty and integrity, and there will never be an ‘unnecessary’ surgery performed on a patient by one of our surgeons. We always keep your best-interest in mind, and move in a conservative direction rather than surgical whenever appropriate and possible.
From routine trimming of toenails and removal of calluses to full reconstructive surgery, we are qualified and capable of treating your problems. We make custom orthotics for relief of foot pain and improvement of foot function, as well as provide Diabetic Shoes and Insoles for those patients whose feet need such protection.
