Michael D. Dujela, MD, DPM

Being born with a clubfoot and having this successfully corrected as a child has allowed me to participate in competitive sports and has given me a tremendous passion for helping people with deformities and injuries. “We have the ability to help patients overcome significant disability and return to an active lifestyle. We achieve this by partnering with our patients via education and involvement in the decision making process whenever possible. Our greatest reward is being part of an environment with a single focus: A personalized team approach to expert comprehensive musculoskeletal care.” Dr. Dujela is a frequent lecturer and instructor on foot and ankle surgery at medical conferences nationally.
