He earned his Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from Northeastern University in 1996 before receiving his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in 2000. Dr. Landino completed his residency at Drexel University Graduate Hospital in 2003. He further advanced his training through fellowships at the Russian Ilizarov Scientific Center for Restorative Traumatology and Orthopedics in Kurgan, Russia, and the Trauma Department at Universitätsklinikum “Carl Gustav Carus” in Dresden, Germany, where he gained specialized experience in deformity correction, trauma, and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.
Dr. Landino provides comprehensive foot and ankle care with expertise in both conservative and surgical treatment. His clinical interests include sports medicine, reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, trauma care, wound management, bunion surgery, pediatric podiatry, arthroscopy, regenerative treatments, and revision surgery. He has particular expertise in bone lengthening and deformity correction using the Ilizarov Method and has dedicated much of his career to physician education, presenting nationally and internationally on foot and ankle surgery, arthroscopy, flatfoot reconstruction, sports injuries, arthritis, and complex lower extremity trauma. His background as both a physical therapist and foot and ankle surgeon provides him with a unique perspective on biomechanics, rehabilitation, and restoring function for patients of all activity levels.
Outside of work, Dr. Landino enjoys spending time with his family and two German Shepherds, cycling, skiing, hiking, woodworking, photography, and wine tasting. He is also involved with the 82nd Airborne Division Association and has continued his education by earning an Associate in Applied Science in Enology and a Certificate in Viticulture, reflecting his passion for winemaking and lifelong learning.
