Chicago · Podiatrist
A podiatrist in Chicago for regenerative foot & ankle care.

Foot and ankle physicians, regenerative first.
The Regenerative Lower Extremity Institute is a collaborative network of physician specialists (DPM) dedicated exclusively to regenerative medicine for the foot, ankle and lower leg. Our Chicago practice specializes in lower-extremity nerve surgery, orthoplastic reconstruction and regenerative medicine for the foot and ankle.
Our providers use your body’s own biology — stem cells, exosomes and peptides — to treat foot, ankle and lower-leg conditions without surgery wherever possible. Because our physicians are surgeons of the foot and ankle, they will also tell you plainly when surgery is the right answer.

Is this a general podiatry office?
We are dedicated to regenerative medicine for the foot, ankle and lower leg. Our Chicago practice also specializes in lower-extremity nerve surgery and orthoplastic reconstruction.
Where is the Chicago office?
331 West Surf Street, Suite 711, Chicago, IL 60657. Visits are by appointment — call (833) 734-3648 to schedule.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Your consultation is free, and you will get specific numbers for your own plan before you commit to anything. Most consultations begin as a telehealth call.
Does insurance cover it?
Regenerative treatments — stem cell therapy, exosome therapy, PRP, peptide therapy and BMAC — are not covered by insurance, and we do not bill insurance for them. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds where their plan allows it, and CareCredit and Affirm Pay-in-4 are available at checkout. See financing and our published prices.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. If you have imaging, a physician will review it as part of your consultation.
