Foot First Podiatry Centers

About Foot First Podiatry Centers

Foot First Podiatry Centers has treated foot and ankle patients across Illinois since 1985, with offices in Chicago, Moline, Oak Brook, and Schaumburg led by Dr. Keith Sklar, Dr. Samantha Sklar, Dr. Nicholas Ruckman, and Dr. Angie Youssef Hernandez. The practice's physicians are residency trained and board certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine, and the group is known for its trademarked Sklar Bunionectomy, a minimally invasive, office-based bunion correction procedure paired with exclusive toe-shortening and straightening techniques. Beyond bunion and toe surgery, the practice treats corns, fungal and thickened nails, and heel pain, and its blog discusses platelet-rich plasma therapy for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and Achilles tendonitis. All surgical procedures are performed in the practice's own office-based surgical suite rather than a hospital setting, and the group works with a network of internists, orthopedists, and other specialists to coordinate broader patient care.
