Dr. Ravaei is a former Chief of the Department of Podiatric Surgery at Saint Joseph’s Hospital, (where he was named ‘Best Teaching Attending’ by students and residents for two consecutive years), Dr. Ravaei graduated from Temple University in Pennsylvania and then went on to post-doctoral work at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and Cooper University Hospital in New Jersey. He has performed more than seven thousand surgical procedures and is certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine. As someone who loves the outdoor pursuits, he realizes just how difficult life can be when foot or ankle problems get in the way. If, like Dr. Ravaei, you love to rollerblade, hike, ride your bike, run, or just spend time at the beach, you need feet that are functional and pain free. Dr. Ravaei’s surgical techniques are generally designed to be minimally invasive. This reduces patient discomfort and helps you heal faster. When he’s not helping patients or enjoying the outdoors, he loves to cook gourmet meals, spend time with his family or watch comedy shows. Dr. Ravaei sees patients with a wide variety of foot and ankle problems including fungal nail infections, warts, bunions, athlete’s foot, varicose veins, calluses, diabetic foot problems, heel pain and ingrown toenails as well as brachymetatarsia, (a foot condition where one or more toes are abnormally short) and neuroma. His work has been featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer, on WHYY, Phl-17, radio and in Instep magazine.
