Our Avalon Park office can treat a variety of foot and ankle conditions including arthritis, bunions, corns and calluses, flat feet, heel pain, hammertoe and claw toe, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, neuromas and all manner of sports-related foot and ankle injuries. However, Dr. Gerst’s specialties are sports medicine and foot surgery, which comes as no surprise since he is a longtime athlete himself.
