Meet Our Team
The key to any successful foot and ankle treatment can be found in the relationship you build with your doctor. Honesty, compassion, and excellent customer service are all qualities that can be found with our podiatrists. Each doctor takes time to get to know you, your symptoms, and the goals you have for your treatment. Meet our podiatrists at Kansas City Foot and Ankle and the Heel Pain Center of Kansas City.
Our doctors aren’t quick to go to the operating room to solve foot and ankle issues. They strive for the best results from conservative care first before opting for a surgical solution. If surgery is needed, Dr. Green. Dr. Jameson, Dr. Erin Lewis, Dr. John Riley, and Dr. Brian L. Ware are skilled surgeons who have worked on the most complex cases with excellent results.
For your convenience, the doctors at Kansas City Foot and Ankle maintain medical and surgical privileges at St. Joseph Medical Center, Saint Luke’s South Hospital, Saint Luke’s North Hospital, St. Mary’s Medical Center, and the Surgicenter of Johnson County.
At Kansas City Foot and Ankle, you are not just meeting with Dr. Mark Green, Dr. Stephanie Jameson, Dr. Erin Lewis, Dr. John Riley, Dr. Brian L. Ware, and Dr. Michael Johnson, but an entire staff of trained professionals in podiatry and customer service.
Excellent customer service is our top priority.
From the moment you call Kansas City Foot and Ankle to make your appointment, our staff is trained to offer the highest level of customer service to provide you with the best patient experience in Kansas City. We understand your time is valuable and we strive to keep an on-time appointment schedule.
Customer service is an integral part of Kansas City Foot and Ankle. We offer our patients a post-appointment survey that provides us with valuable feedback. We take the time to review each survey and implement appropriate changes based on our patients’ responses.
The old saying “there is no I in team” applies to the staff at Kansas City Foot and Ankle.
Our staff is here to assist you with your foot care needs.
