Who we are
Getting You Back On Your Feet
Whether you are trying to get better after an injury or just want to get rid of that nagging foot pain that holds you back from your daily activities, Dr. Hoopes can get you back on your feet. Very few surgeons will take the time needed to evaluate and educate the patient. You will immediately notice his attention to detail and personalized service.
What we do
Injuries
One of Dr. Hoopes’ mentors, Dr. Sigvard T. Hansen taught Dr. Hoopes the principle of identifying the true cause of an ailment and not just focusing attention on the symptoms. As Dr. Hansen likes to say “Nothing happens for no reason.” By taking the time and effort to figure out why a patient has an injury, Dr. Hoopes hopes to not only treat the current symptoms but the root cause of the condition. This unique approach to medicine sets Dr. Hoopes apart from the many doctors and physicians who eagerly jump on a diagnosis and offer operations that may provide some temporary relief, but often lead to a recurrence of the original problem as time passes. Dr. Hoopes focuses on surgical and non-operative treatments of lower extremity injuries, specifically those involving the foot and ankle.
