Areas of Excellence - Foot and Ankle

At Summit Orthopedics, we believe that no one should have to live with painful feet. Our foot and ankle surgeons are trained to diagnose and treat all problems involving your foot and ankle. We treat people of all ages for problems such as calluses and bunions, as well as other serious injuries and disorders. Many foot and ankle problems can be remedied with conservative care including correctional orthotic devices. For patients with conditions that fail to respond to conservative care, surgical intervention may be necessary.

Summit Orthopedics' foot and ankle experts include:

Bryan S. Russell, D.P.M., podiatric foot and ankle surgeon — named one of the areas “Top Docs” by Mpls/St. Paul Magazine four years in a row.

Matthew D. Sorensen, D.P.M., podiatric foot and ankle surgeon — the only orthopedic fellowship-trained* podiatric surgeon in Minnesota.

Daren J. Wickum, M.D., orthopedic surgeon — the only fellowship-trained foot and ankle orthopedist in the East Metro.
