Beloved by Patients – Serving Hampton Roads since 2006
Dr. Matthew Dairman is the Founder of 1Foot 2Foot Centres and has been providing expert podiatry care to patients in the Hampton and Suffolk, VA, areas since 2006. 1Foot 2Foot was formed in 2006 with eight employees as the first of its kind in the country to include a full-scope podiatry practice, medical-grade nail spa and comfort shoe store under one roof. Dr. Dairman’s passion is to provide the community with the absolute best foot and ankle experience available.
Dr. Dairman is from northern New Jersey. Upon graduating from Skidmore College where “Creative Thinking Matters”, Dr. Dairman completed a Master’s in Epidemiology from the SUNY Albany School of Public Health and went on to attend medical school in Chicago at the William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin School of Medicine and Science, graduating with honors and as a Swanson Independent Scholar in 2000. He completed his residency in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery under the guidance of Drs. Dan Hatch and Jeff Jensen through the Northern Colorado Podiatric Surgery program. On completion of his residency, he and his very pregnant wife Wendy moved to Suffolk in 2003, and wife Wendy gave birth to their daughter Lucy one month later.
Dr. Dairman is Board Certified by the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery. He is a Fellow of the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons, American Society of Podiatric Surgery, Association of Extremity Nerve Surgeons, and American Professional Wound Care Association. He is an active member of the American, Virginia and Hampton Roads Podiatric Medical Associations and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School.
He has been named one of America’s Top Podiatrists and maintains fellowship with the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, American Society of Podiatric Surgeons, and Association of Extremity Nerve Surgeons. He is an Assistant Professor at Eastern Virginia Medical School. His passion to advance care is further satisfied as Principal Investigator for multiple foot and ankle related clinical trials.
In his spare time, Dr. Dairman is an avid 5k runner, dabbles in yoga and meditation, enjoys a game of pickleball and can sometimes be found on the disc golf course. A lesser-known fact is that Dr. Dairman is quite the renaissance man – a sporadic actor and singer, ukulele and piano player, and digital artist/graphic designer by hobby. His art has gained national recognition and brightens up offices around the country with his vibrant use of color.
Dr. Dairman’s philosophy is Better Feet for a Better Life. Whether you want your feet or ankles to feel better, look better, perform better, or simply stay better, Dr. Dairman will get you there.
Dr. Dairman is accepting new patients.
