About Howard S Ortman Md

Howard S. Ortman, DPM has served the San Rafael, California area as a foot and ankle specialist since establishing his practice there in 1979, following podiatric training at the California College of Podiatric Medicine and internship rotations at Stanford University and the Palo Alto VA hospital. He treats bunions, hammertoes, athlete's foot, ingrown toenails, flatfoot, ankle sprains, and fracture care, along with heel pain and toenail fungus using both traditional and laser-based methods. Laser foot treatment at the practice addresses plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, neuropathy, and soft tissue injuries through non-invasive light therapy that promotes cellular regeneration and reduces inflammation. Dr. Ortman also provides diabetic foot care, including amputation prevention, and offers office-based surgery using local anesthesia and safe sedation methods for patients who need corrective procedures. He is on staff at Marin General Hospital and Marin Specialty Surgery Center and continues to attend conferences sponsored by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
