Our Facilities
The American Board of Podiatric Surgery has two levels of certification. Many podiatrists are certified in Foot Surgery only. Jeff Szczepanski, DPM, FACFAS has the highest level offered. This requires additional Surgical Residency Training, submission of advanced surgical cases and passing additional written and oral certification testing. This allows him to provide the most advanced care possible with his Foot & Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Certification. He is active in training other doctors nationally in these advanced surgical skills, specifically Endoscopic/Arthoscopic Surgery which decreases recovery times.
