Dr. Glazer is a board-certified podiatrist with Artisan Foot and Ankle Specialists.
Dr Glazer moved to Orange County in 2004 from New York City after finishing a reconstructive foot and ankle surgical residency at Cornell/ Columbia health system. While working in another practice, he envisioned what a practice should be.
In 2009, Artisan Foot and Ankle Specialists was born on the premise of patient care above all else. The practice was founded and built with doctors who can serve all patients’ lower extremity needs.
“I go to work every day with the attitude that I am fortunate enough to possibly change people’s lives for the better,” said Dr. Glazer. “I really enjoy the complexity of the foot and ankle and solving issues for patients. Seeing a happy patient is the best reward of this profession.”
Dr. Glazer continues to remain active in the podiatry field. He is a fellow for the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and for the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery. He also is the Chair of the Western Foot and Ankle Conference and a board member for the Podiatric Medical Board of California (Gubernatorial appointment). Previously, he served as President of the Orange County Podiatric Medical Society, California Podiatric Medical Association, and Pacific Division of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgery.
Dr. Glazer has always focused on giving back via community service and education. He has had the pleasure of lecturing throughout the nation and Europe.
“I truly enjoy medical education. I’m honored to train our next generation of doctors through our fellowship program and the multiple labs and lectures I participate in. Seeing doctors expand their knowledge, fulfills that our next generation will be able to take care of us.”
Dr. Glazer’s practice focuses on lower extremity revisional surgery, reconstructive surgery, trauma and Charcot limb issues. That said, he also treats standard surgical and non-surgical issues like bunions, hammer toes and sports medicine issues of the foot and ankle. Dr. Glazer even patented the Artisan Arch for shoes and orthotics. He was also the first doctor to implant a 3D printed navicular bone in Orange County. Dr Glazer co-developed Charcot Beaming and Plating systems, refine External fixation systems and innovated the Kick Stand/ WOLF systems for wound healing/ off-loading.
Dr Glazer believes in meaningful care that educates the patient on their current issues but also what they can do preventive, to avoid future lower extremity problems. His specialties include Charcot Reconstruction, Foot and Ankle Reconstruction/ Trauma, 3D Titanium printed bone implants, Reversional Surgery, Limb Salvage, External Fixation, Regenerative medicine/ Stem Cell Therapy, and Tenex Fast Procedure Surgical Trainer.
Since starting Artisan Foot and Ankle Specialists, he and his wife started a family with two active girls that keep them on their toes. He even wrote a children’s book based on a story he would tell his daughters. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with family. Skiing and horsepower are his non-work passions.
Dr. Glazer supports his patients in both English and Spanish.
