Foot
Our specialty-trained foot doctors at BoulderCentre for Orthopedics & Spine are the area's distinguished experts in the diagnosis and treatment of patients' foot injuries and conditions.
Made up of more than 30 different joints and numerous bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles, foot pain is common and affects millions of people. One of the reasons pain occurs is from the added stress the feet endure from bearing the full weight of the body. Pain can also be the result of a traumatic injury or the wear and tear from aging. Patients should seek medical care from a foot and ankle doctor who can diagnose foot injuries and conditions and provide treatment options for pain relief.

Our specialty-trained orthopedic foot surgeons at BoulderCentre for Orthopedics & Spine, Dr. Dirk Dolbeare, Dr. William Kramer, and Dr. Aditya Yerrapragada, have all completed specialty training specifically in the foot and ankle.

Our surgeons specialize in performing a variety of surgical procedures, which include:
- Bunion correction surgery

- Foot and ankle reconstruction surgery
- Foot fusion surgery
- Fracture repair
- Nerve or tendon repairs
