Unrivaled Expertise from a Foot and Ankle Specialist. Our feet and ankles may seem like just another part of our bodies, but these structures are highly complex and are comprised of dozens of small bones and tissues that work together in harmony. Because of this, consulting a foot and ankle specialist is always a good idea if you have sustained an injury or are experiencing symptoms like pain or stiffness in your foot or ankle.

Dr. Quill is a highly respected foot and ankle specialist who has decades of clinical experience and an extensive research background. His expertise allows him to provide the highest level of care to his patients, no matter what their specific needs may entail.

“Foot pain is extremely common. In fact, the American Podiatric Medical Association estimates that about 80 percent of Americans have dealt with it,” says Dr. Quill.

If you are among the many Americans with aching feet or nagging ankle pain, Dr. Quill and the rest of our team are ready to be of assistance.

What our patients are saying

Shaun H.

I was able to get a office visit on short notice. It seemed to be a very busy day. Rebecca took the time to listen to all of my issues and discuss a plan for additional treatment. I have always been impressed with her knowledge and bed side manner.

Joanna S.

Dr Goodin has replaced both of my knees this year with excellent results. He and Carly listen to my concerns, act promptly and work hard to make this journey the best it can be. Carly and Dr Goodin both have GREAT bedside manner and I feel I am in expert care with them.

Carolyn K.

Dr. Yakkanti did my knee replacement in June. He is an excellent surgeon with a great bedside manner. I have recovered nicely and plan to have my other knee replaced within the next year. I would highly recommend Dr. Yakkanti to anyone thinking about knee replacement!
