Board-certified foot and ankle surgery, minimally invasive techniques, and a holistic approach so your feet look and feel their best.
About Dr. Ravaei
Dr. Ravaei is a former Chief of the Department of Podiatric Surgery at Saint Joseph Hospital in Philadelphia, where he was named "Best Teaching Attending" by students and residents for two consecutive years.
He graduated from Temple University in Pennsylvania and completed post-doctoral work at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and Cooper University Hospital in New Jersey. Dr. Ravaei has performed more than eight thousand surgical procedures, is licensed in four different states, and is certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine.
While many foot surgeons concentrate on correcting foot problems without considering appearance, Dr. Ravaei prefers a more holistic approach. As someone who loves outdoor pursuits — rollerblading, hiking, biking, and running — he realizes just how difficult life can be when foot or ankle problems get in the way. His surgical techniques are designed to be minimally invasive, reducing discomfort and helping you heal faster.

Patient Stories
Real experiences from real patients — we take pride in delivering results that change lives.
Dr. Ravaei corrected my bunion and I was back to walking the same day. The difference is night and day — no more pain in my shoes and my foot looks completely normal again. I wish I had done it years sooner.
I had been dealing with chronic heel pain for three years before finding Dr. Ravaei. He diagnosed the problem immediately, explained every option clearly, and treated me conservatively. Within six weeks I was pain-free. Outstanding doctor.
My daughter had ingrown toenails on both feet that kept getting infected. Dr. Ravaei fixed both in one visit under local anesthesia — she was fine walking right after. It's been over a year and no recurrence. We drive from Riverside just to see him.
