Dr. Liss completed his three year foot and ankle surgical residency at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. During his training, he received extensive experience and learned the latest advances in both conservative and surgical management of a broad range of ailments of the foot, ankle and leg.

Now practicing in Los Angeles, Dr. Liss specializes in treating everything from common foot ailments, such as toenail and skin disorders, warts, neuromas, bunions, hammertoes, flat feet, and heel pain, to more complex sports injuries, fractures and chronically painful conditions.
