Keeping patients’ active, pain-free, and on their feet, that is the #1 priority of The Foot Wellness Center. 

The doctor is board-certified through the American Board of Podiatric Medicine, which exists to protect the health and welfare of the public through an ongoing process of evaluation and certification of the competence of podiatrists in the specialty of podiatric orthopedics and primary podiatric medicine by offering podiatric physicians a comprehensive board qualification and certification process.

There, he earned the honor of becoming Chief Resident before furthering his training with a one-year fellowship. 

After several years of private practice and teaching at various New York hospitals, Dr. El-Khashab decided to head back to Texas with his family. He has been a welcome asset ever since. 

Podiatry or podiatric medicine is a branch of medicine devoted to the study, diagnosis, and medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. As a podiatrist and foot and ankle surgeon, Dr. El-Khashab’s diverse background of experience provides him with ample expertise and allows him to devise well-rounded treatment plans for his patients.
