Anand M. Vora, MD

I take pride in providing care for my patients in a caring and compassionate manner while utilizing the most state-of-the-art medical and surgical treatments available for all conditions, from bunions and hammertoe surgery to complex foot reconstructions and ankle replacement surgery. While clinical patient care is my priority, I believe remaining active in the academic and research fields allows me to recommend and implement the most informed and appropriate treatments and ensure that my patients receive the care they deserve. I serve as the foot and ankle consultant for several professional sports teams and organizations, including the Chicago Fire Professional Soccer Team, Joffrey Ballet Dance Company, and previously the Chicago Cubs and bring the same level of dedication and commitment to the care of these athletes as I do in the treatment of all of my patients in an attempt to maximize outcomes.

Dr. Vora's Innovative and traditional treatments for foot and ankle conditions have been featured in articles in The Chicago Tribune and in broadcasts by FOX news, WGN news, and NBC news
