Dr. Jinal Mehta is board-certified and highly trained in treating foot and ankle issues. From conservative care to surgical reconstruction, she takes a hands-on approach to help patients achieve lower extremity health goals. “I provide comprehensive foot and ankle care to children, adults, and seniors in all areas of podiatric care. From ingrown toenails, warts, heel pain, tendonitis to diabetic limb salvage, sports medicine, trauma, and elective reconstruction,” she says.

Dr. Mehta is excited to have StrideCare’s network of physicians available to her patients. “Every patient deserves an individual approach based on their own situation.

She began a chapter of Save a Leg, Save a Life while at school and continues to be an advocate for diabetic limb salvage.
Dr. Mehta believes that every patient should be treated as an individual and is an important part of the decision-making process for their own care. “I like to listen to my patient’s unique situations, present the diagnosis, treatment options/plans and work with them together for what is realistic but also medically necessary,” she says. Dr. Mehta understands the importance of developing trusting relationships with her patients and uses her varied work and life experiences to be empathetic, compassionate and understanding.
