My name is Dr. Mikel Smith, and I'm a board-certified foot surgeon at We Treat Feet Podiatry. I first became acquainted with podiatry when, as a child, my mother had surgery on her toes and walked around with surgical shoes during her recovery. And I understood the importance of your feet as my father, for many years, worked long hours on his feet as a letter carrier. I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. And I completed my education at the Kent State University School of Podiatry. Throughout my career, I developed a passion for treating all aspects of the foot and ankle, and that passion ranges from conservative care to surgical measures to treat a patient's specific condition. I pride myself on my bedside manner, and my goal is to provide the highest standard of care and improve my patients' quality of life One step at a time. What I appreciate most about joining We Treat Feet is that there are multiple locations with multiple providers that allows for a wide service areas for patients' choice, and that as a collective practice, we can find the best solutions for your foot, ankle, and as a result, your overall health and well-being.
