Dr. Ryan Patel, DPM, FACFAS

Board Certified | Fellowship-Trained in Sports Medicine

Dr. Ryan Patel founded Stride Foot & Ankle with a clear mission: to provide the kind of podiatric care that actually gets people back to their lives. Not just managing symptoms, but resolving the root cause.

After earning his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine, Dr. Patel completed a three-year surgical residency at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. He then pursued a fellowship in sports medicine podiatry, working with collegiate and professional athletes on complex lower-extremity injuries.

Dr. Patel is board certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS) and is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (FACFAS). He is an active member of the American Podiatric Medical Association and regularly attends national conferences to stay current with the latest treatment advances.

When he's not in the office, Dr. Patel is an avid trail runner and cycling enthusiast. He understands firsthand what it means to rely on healthy feet and the frustration of being sidelined by an injury.
