Dr. Gary B. Briskin, a lifelong sports enthusiast, maintains a special passion for hockey and running. He parlays that same spirit into all aspects of podiatry: sports medicine, arthritis prevention, and reconstructive surgery.
As co-founder and co-director of University Foot and Ankle Institute, board-certified Dr. Briskin began his medical training by serving a residency at Flint General Hospital in Michigan. Once completed, he established a practice in Century City Hospital, where he soon became chief of podiatric surgery.
In addition to his current work with the University Foot and Ankle Institute, Dr. Briskin also serves as an assistant clinical professor at the UCLA School of Medicine. He is ABFAS® Board Certified in Foot and Ankle Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.
Dr. Briskin resides in Manhattan Beach with his wife and son. He is currently involved with multiple running, hockey, and soccer organizations.
Dr. Briskin is available for consultation at the Santa Monica and El Segundo University Foot and Ankle Institute offices.
