Biography

Victor V. Cachia, DPM Foot and Ankle Physician and Surgeon Board Certified Foot and Ankle Surgeon, Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Education and Training: The foundation for excellent care and great results. "I believe my ability to deliver high-quality care and positive outcomes is a direct result of a strong education and excellent training. As a medical student and a resident, I was exposed to a broad range of conditions and effective treatments, and I had the opportunity to learn from well-qualified instructors and surgeons. It’s from this strong foundation that I learned the importance of listening to every patient carefully, treating them with care and respect and doing for them what I would do for my own family."

"I've had the privilege and opportunity to treat many patients with foot and ankle problems in other countries, such as Guatemala and Mexico. These experiences have provided valuable lessons for me as an individual and as a foot and ankle specialist.
