Approach To Care
A Message From Dr. Haupt
When I first started in practice, I wanted to combine cutting-edge sports medicine rehabilitation with state-of-the-art surgical care. Just as importantly, I wanted to break the stereotype that surgeons are unapproachable or difficult to connect with.
​
That’s why we built this website—so you can begin getting to know us even before your visit. You’ll see that our team leads the world in areas such as foot and ankle sports medicine and total ankle replacement, but above all, we treat every patient as a unique individual who deserves our full attention and care.
Understanding your goals is the foundation of everything we do. It makes my job as your surgeon easier—and far more meaningful—when I know exactly what you’re working toward. Whether your goal is to return to the NFL, walk your daughter down the aisle, or simply enjoy a pain-free walk on the beach, our team is here to help you get there. These examples reflect the real stories of our patients, and they drive us every day.
