Dr. Nikul M. Panchal
Forefoot and Rearfoot certified, American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.
“I knew at a very young age that I was going to be a healthcare provider. Growing up amongst medical professionals afforded me the ability to explore the different branches of medicine, and what drew me to podiatry specifically was the opportunity to apply my hands. I find that podiatry provides a good balance of science and art to truly make a difference in people’s lives.
The feet are often times the most neglected parts of one’s body, however, when a foot problem arises, it has the potential to completely alter one’s lifestyle. That’s why I make it a point to get to know my patients well, so I can tailor the best possible treatment for each person’s individual circumstances. I’ve had a foot fracture myself, a baptism by fire of some sort, and I can personally relate to how much disruption being non-ambulatory for a few weeks can be. My aim is to get my patients back on their feet as soon as possible so that they can get back to their lives.”
