Book AppointmentBiography
Andrew Foggitt is a UK-trained Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon who studied at Liverpool University Medical School, before undertaking his surgical and orthopedic training in the Wessex region of the South of England. He passed the orthopedic exit exam in 2000 and took up a Consultant post in November 2002 in Winchester, UK, as a General Orthopedic Surgeon with a specialist interest in foot and ankle surgery. This was a new post, and he set up a foot and ankle service, which was sufficiently successful, that he had to give up his general orthopedic practice to concentrate on purely foot and ankle surgery, which he continued, for over 19 years before moving to the Burjeel Hospital in Dubai, full-time, to provide foot and ankle services to the local population. He is supported by an integrated hospital team, providing a holistic service, including nurses, physiotherapists, podiatrists, orthotics, and a dedicated back-room team who will assist you through your hospital journey. He looks forward to providing you with personalized service to look after your foot and ankle problems. His areas of expertise include,
- Arthritic conditions of the foot and ankle
- Sports injuries of the ankle
- Ankle arthroscopy
- Tendon transfers
- Reconstructive surgery
- Achilles tendon disorders
- Plantar fasciitis
- Curly toes, bunions, and ingrowing toenails
