Prior to entering medical school I was an Athletic Trainer. I enjoyed working with and treating athletes and their injuries and therefore made that a focus during my training.

During my Podiatric Medical Training at the William Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine, I received honors performance in clinical studies and was awarded a scholarship from the State of Illinois.

During my surgical residency training, I was selected as the Chief Resident for my section. My advanced surgical training was two years of the most demanding yet fulfilling training any surgeon could hope for.

I am trained in forefoot and rearfoot reconstructive procedures, arthroscopy, laser surgery, and minimal incision surgery to name a few.

After residency, I started my own practice and became active presenting topics in the community, and I continue to do so upon request.

I have received advanced training in nerve surgery and was fortunate to be highlighted nationally on WGN in 2001 for this technique. It has been my pleasure to address nerve compressions, chronic nerve pain, and even diabetic neuropathy for patients from around the Midwest and as far away as Washington State and New Mexico.

Currently, I have active privileges at Lincoln Park Hospital and Norwegian American Hospital and can perform surgeries at several centers around Chicago. I am active helping new residents become proficient in their skills.

I hope that you find our office and staff as respectful and knowledgeable as any in the field. Most importantly, at the Center for Podiatric Medicine we believe that our training does make a difference.

Thank you in advance,

Dr. Mark A. Jones
