Our Chicago-based podiatrists are deeply passionate about ensuring your foot and ankle health, and we take pride in treating you as an individual with unique needs and medical history.

Under the expert care of Dr. Gerst, who specializes in sports medicine and foot surgery, we address a wide range of conditions such as arthritis, bunions, corns, flat feet, heel pain, hammertoe, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, neuromas, and sports-related injuries. With a background as a longtime athlete, Dr. Gerst brings an empathetic and skilled approach to his practice.

At Weil Foot & Ankle Institute, we are committed to utilizing the most advanced and up-to-date techniques. Our team actively contributes to the field of podiatry through peer-reviewed research and remains current with board certifications. We emphasize evidence-based care to provide you with effective solutions for your foot, heel, and ankle pain.

While Dr. Gerst is a highly skilled surgeon, our preference is to avoid surgery when possible. We prioritize getting you back on your feet quickly, minimizing recovery time whenever feasible. Our consultative approach ensures that your treatment plan reflects both your needs and the best available evidence. Our facility is equipped with state-of-the-art medical imaging equipment, including x-ray and ultrasound services.

Our Avalon Park office is designed with your comfort and accessibility in mind. We are a wheelchair-accessible, smoke-free facility, featuring amenities such as unisex restrooms and air conditioning. As a family-led practice with over 50 years of experience, we are committed to providing a welcoming environment where you feel cared for beyond just your foot and ankle needs.
