After over 50 years of serving the Chicago area, Weil Foot & Ankle Institute is thrilled to now be offering services to patients in Indiana through our podiatry practice in Merrillville, IN. Our podiatrists are skilled in a range of techniques and can handle almost any foot and ankle condition, including arthritis, bunions, corns and calluses, flat feet, heel pain, hammertoe and claw toe, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, neuromas and all manner of sports-related foot and ankle injuries.

We also have podiatrists who are experts in pediatric care and can treat conditions like toe walking, in-toeing and out-toeing, frequent falls and other issues of abnormal gait in children of all ages. Whether it is you, your child, or another loved one that needs care, WFAI can help.

We practice a philosophy of consultative medicine. This means that our doctors are always listening and taking your needs into consideration, working with you as a partner in your own care. This ethic of care is what sets WFAI apart from other providers. To us you are not just another patient – you are part of the WFAI family.

Our podiatrists in Merrillville, IN are also major proponents of evidence-based medicine and scientific research. Our podiatrists have worked on numerous peer-reviewed research studies published in academic journals, advancing knowledge in the field of podiatry. They also keep their board certifications up-to-date and stay on top of the latest advances in podiatric care and restorative foot and ankle surgery. However, surgery is treated as a last resort option at WFAI. This is because we want to get you moving sooner with minimal pain, so we will avoid a long and painful surgical recovery period whenever possible. Regardless of the treatment your podiatrist recommends, our goal at WFAI is to treat your foot, heel, and ankle pain.

Our podiatry practice in Merrillville, IN is completely accessible by wheelchair.
