Dr. Alan Mauser is a podiatrist who has been in practice in the Louisville area since 1985. With office locations in Louisville and Carrollton, he has been treating foot disorders from the common to the complex.
Podiatric medicine is a unique branch of medicine that deals with the medical and surgical management of the foot and its related disorders. Podiatry is one of the earliest medical professions having evolved from the days of Chiropody to the well-trained, highly respected Podiatrist.
After undergraduate college, Podiatrists must complete a four-year program of study at one of the accredited colleges of Podiatric Medicine. Many are selected to participate in residency programs in order to enhance their diagnostic and surgical skills.
Podiatrists are educated in such areas as: Orthopedics, Dermatology, Radiology and Surgery as they relate to the foot. Many Podiatrists offer specialization in such fields as Sports Medicine, Geriatrics and Pediatrics.
When he set up his podiatry practice in the summer of 1989 near the intersection of Bardstown and Taylorsville roads, Alan Mauser, DPM, had no idea that 20 years later he'd wind up with his feet so firmly planted in one spot. "It's kind of flown by," says Dr. Mauser. "I thought I'd outgrow the office, but it's been a great location."
