Dr. Thomas Bemenderfer
Orthopedic Surgeon, Foot & Ankle Specialist
Hi, I'm Dr. Bemenderfer, a fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle trauma, arthritis, and complex deformity correction. I trained under world-renowned foot and ankle experts in both Charlotte and Grand Rapids, and I stay at the forefront of the field with a focus on total ankle replacements and minimally invasive surgical techniques. My goal is simple: to restore function, reduce pain, and help my patients get back to the life they love. Whether it's a sports injury, chronic arthritis, or a complex reconstruction, I strive to deliver expert, compassionate care tailored to each individual.
My Practice.
While surgery is sometimes necessary, I believe it should never be the first or only option. I focus on providing the right treatment for the right reason—whether that’s physical therapy, bracing, injections, or surgery—tailored to your specific goals and lifestyle. My mission is to get you back on your feet with the least invasive and most effective care possible.
