Dr. David Pochatko is a foot & ankle surgery and orthopedics/orthopedic surgery specialist in Amherst, NY and Town of Tonawanda, NY. He studied at SUNY, University at Buffalo School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.

"I allowed Dr. Pochatko to perform surgery on my son who was suffering due to complications from a severe ankle break. Dr. Pochatko crippled him even more. The procedure was not fully explained nor was the course of recovery, which was significant. He was arrogant, condescending, and rude when questioned. He showed no remorse or empathy for the life of discomfort and pain my 18 year old son would now have to live. He is a dangerous man."

What is Foot & Ankle Surgery?

Foot and ankle surgery is the specialty offering medical and surgical care for the foot and ankle. The feet and ankles are some of the most frequently injured parts of the body, but foot and ankle surgeons also treat damage due to illness, major trauma, or structural disorders.

Foot and ankle surgeons begin their career by either studying podiatry or orthopedics. Podiatrists study and care for the feet and ankles, while orthopedists study how bones, muscles, and tendons work and help us move. After their initial training, foot and ankle surgeons go on to do a surgical residency for three years, studying specifically how to care for feet and ankles with surgery.

A foot and ankle surgeon may treat conditions including:

Sports injuries
Trauma, such as due to a car accident
Surgical management of joints damaged by arthritis
Bunions
Hammer toes
Flat feet
Polydactyly (extra toes)
Tumors of the foot

The care offered by foot and ankle surgeons does not always involve surgery. Depending on the diagnosis, they may recommend non-invasive medical treatments such as rest, ice / heat, casting, bracing, or physical therapy.
