Prior to going to medical school, Dr. Sergi did carpentry work, building and fixing things. Since a very young age he had worked with power and conventional tools. The manual dexterity from this kind of work translates directly into the required manual dexterity to perform intricate foot surgery.

In his residency training, Dr. Sergi had the unique opportunity to work with hundreds of surgeons and to perform all kinds of podiatric, orthopedic and plastic surgeries. He applies many of the principles and techniques that he learned from the plastic surgeons in his foot surgery.

For example, when performing bunion surgery there is an excessive amount of redundant skin left over after the bone is moved. Most doctors do not address this. Dr. Sergi employs plastic surgery type procedures called skin-plasties in order to reduce this extra skin leading to a more cosmetic outcome.

Dr. Sergi also employs other techniques to make postoperative results look and feel better and to make postoperative pain significantly less. Dr. Sergi is a favorite of the residents that he trains as he operates like no other doctor.
