Dr. John Powers served as a combat medic for the military police during the Gulf War I and developed a strong interest in the complexity of the foot and ankle. He learned that what works for one patient may not work for others, and he finds it rewarding to find the right treatment for the individual and bring relief from pain that someone might have experienced for years. He has a special interest in nerve repair and reconstructions, pediatric and adult sports injuries, reconstructive foot and ankle surgery and diabetic foot care and education.
Dr. Timothy Short suffered a broken ankle as a teenager that required multiple surgeries and extensive therapy. After countless physicians, specialists and therapists, he was able to return to an active lifestyle. At that point he decided to pursue a career in foot and ankle medicine to provide the same positive effect he had experienced. He believes in thorough communication and specializes in all foot and ankle injuries from acute to sports medicine to chronic injuries and peripheral neuropathy.
