With a strong background in general orthopedics and orthopedic trauma, Dr. Mechrefe has advanced training in complex reconstructions of the foot and ankle, specifically with arthritic conditions, ligamentous injuries and fractures, and flatfoot deformities.

His dedicated foot and ankle team help educate patients about their foot and ankle problems, walk them through treatment options, and deliver superlative care with patients at the center of attention.
