About me

  • Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Fellowship Director

Dr. Ndu treats a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including everything from sports ankle injuries to hammer toes to ankle replacements. He has a particular clinical interest in hind foot reconstruction and flat foot correction. Dr. Ndu specializes in performing minimally invasive surgery to treat bunions, hammer toes, crossover toes, Achilles tendinitis, and other conditions. He has a diverse practice, treating patients of all ages, from teens through older adults.
