Overview

While we strive to offer the latest in non-surgical care for our patients, we recognize that surgery may sometimes be the best option. The team at Yale New Haven Hospital includes highly-trained and experienced podiatric surgeons. Using advanced diagnostic and surgical technology, our surgeons specialize in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery and focus on relieving pain using the latest evidenced-based treatments to provide the best medical care.

Our physicians offer services at both inpatient and outpatient locations. Yale New Haven Hospital offers inpatient treatment at our York Street and Saint Raphael campuses.  Our expert podiatrists are members of the "on-call" team for inpatient and Emergency Department foot and ankle services. They also offer consultation for hospitalized patients, including second opinions.
