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.

Two Offices in North Florida

The North Florida community deserves the best foot and ankle care possible and we have made it easier to get care. Our foot and ankle specialists can be seen at offices in Gainesville or Lake City and each maintains full staff privileges at North Florida Regional Medical Center and Lake City Medical Center. With groundbreaking technology that includes digital X-rays, 3D scanned custom orthotics, and regenerative medicine, we can diagnose and treat a broad range of conditions onsite. While conservative methods are always the first course of action for treatment, the board-certified foot and ankle surgeons provide complete surgical care through minimally invasive techniques, including tendon repair, Morton’s neuroma surgery, ankle joint replacement, and bunion removal.
