Our Doctors
Stuart Cardon, DPM, FACFAS / Founder
Board-Certified Foot & Ankle Specialist
Educated to heal
“I chose podiatry because it is an interesting, challenging, results-oriented profession that allows me to help all types of people. When I see patients I’ve treated walk out of my office, pain-free, it only reinforces the fact that I made the right decision by becoming a foot and ankle specialist."
“Since earning my podiatry degree, I have broadened my capabilities by becoming a board-certified foot surgeon with extensive postgraduate training in foot and ankle care. What this means to you is that I am well-versed in the latest, gentlest foot and ankle treatments. My goal is not only to effectively treat foot and ankle problems but to use my years of experience to prevent them from occurring in the first place.”

Joshua Johnson, DPM
Foot & Ankle Specialist
A results-oriented profession
“When I was 15, I had a leg injury and saw various doctors for advice, including a podiatrist and many orthopedic surgeons. While the orthopedic doctors did not seem to have the time to talk with me, the podiatrist made the time to actually explain to me the anatomy and the details of what might be causing my leg injury. I was able to talk with him about my concerns at the appointment, which was a lengthy visit. And I was able to hear about his profession and the way it affected people’s lives.”
