Meet Our Podiatrists
Dr. Mitchell Waskin
Podiatrist and Medical Director of The Foot & Ankle Center
An ABC certified pedorthist is a healthcare professional who is
specifically educated and trained to fabricate, fit, adjust and modify
devices that aid in the proper functioning of the foot. This includes
therapeutic shoes, partial foot prostheses and custom foot orthoses.
Sarah J. Garcia, C-Ped, grew up in Florida but relocated to Richmond in 1992. She started her
career in podiatry in 1990. During the ensuing 16 years she worked in several
foot and ankle clinics, learning all aspects of podiatric care. In 2006
she joined The Foot & Ankle Center and managed the clinical services. Although
Sarah found her duties satisfying she wanted to offer more to her patients as
well as her career. While juggling a full time job and her family —
which includes her husband Victor, son Jordan and daughter Kayla — she
completed the requirements to sit for the state board exam in pedorthics. She
passed the exam on her first attempt (more than half fail the first time), and
she is now one of only 3,000 pedorthists in the nation. We are pleased to have
her as a part of our podiatric team and family. Sarah offers knowledge,
compassion and the drive to always do the best job.
