“Dr. Joshua and Dr. Sarina Epstein are the most amazing doctors I’ve ever met. They are kind, caring doctors with extraordinary medical skills. Dr. Joshua was my primary surgeon. I had worked in the medical field for many years. And I rarely have met any doctors with the professionalism, combined with great bedside manners he displayed.”

Our Family Caring for Yours

North Florida Foot & Ankle Specialists provides comprehensive foot and ankle care for patients of all ages throughout Gainesville and Lake City, Florida. We utilize the most advanced technology to diagnose and treat all types of foot and ankle pain. Our practice is founded by husband and wife duo Dr. Sarina Epstein, Foot & Ankle Surgeon and Wound Care Specialist, and Joshua Epstein, Fellowship Trained Foot & Ankle Surgeon. Dr. Josh and Dr. Sarina met in medical school and instantly bonded over their shared love of innovative foot and ankle surgery techniques. Their ability to provide expert care to children and adults alike inspired them to join forces and work together. Today, both doctors are managing partners of North Florida Foot & Ankle Specialists, where they deliver specialized foot care to those in the surrounding North Florida communities.
