Weil Foot & Ankle Institute Snapshot
Improving the quality of life in a patient-focused environment by providing the most innovative and knowledgeable Foot and Ankle Care.
Weil Foot & Ankle Institute was founded in 1965, by Dr. Lowell Weil, Sr, who was inspired by a need to progress the Foot & Ankle Care category into the future through innovation. As one of the first Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), Dr. Weil Sr. trained around the world, seeking out ideas, both within podiatry, but also outside of that realm, to dream of new ways to make podiatric care better. A few of those improvements included:
- Creating a new way to do the previously painful bunion procedure – he created the Scarf Bunionectomy, a procedure still used today.
- Building an orthotics factory on-site in the Des Plaines location to improve the patient solutions available
- Bringing in an extremity MRI to make the experience more comfortable and cheaper than previous alternatives
- Taking care of beloved Chicago Sports teams, including the Chicago Bears and Chicago White Sox, as the team Podiatrist.
Today, WFAI provides podiatric foot care for any foot & ankle condition, through our experienced team of doctors, many of whom are leaders in specialized care.
