Foot & Ankle
It was great to have one of our favorite foot and ankle surgeons ProOrtho’s Dr. Jonathan Hall, MD onto our webinar. Dr. Hall has a unique background as a former high school standout football player at Garfield High School and later as a football player a Yale University. He took a small detour in technology prior to heading back to campus as UW Medical School.
Why did Dr. Hall focus on the Foot & Ankle?
Dr. Hall was trained in all areas of the body but now has a focus on the foot and ankle as it became his passion. The complexity of the foot is what drove his interest into this speciality. If he has concerns about other areas of the body he will typically lean on his orthopedic colleagues or his trusted physical therapists in the field.
