About Dr. Dennis Dawson, DPM
Board‑Certified Foot and Ankle Surgeon | Founder of Feet Made Simple™
Helping you fix your feet without the fluff.
Welcome to Feet Made Simple™. This space is for people who want real answers about foot and ankle pain. I share the same clarity here that I give my patients every day. No miracle cures. No gimmicks. No salesy promises. Just honest guidance backed by current research and years of surgical and clinic experience.
“Why did no one explain this before?”
“I tried everything I found online. Why did nothing work?”
“My doctor pushed surgery without options and I do not even know what they did.”
This site exists to fix that. I translate complex foot and ankle problems into plain language and give you evidence based options you can understand and act on.
What You Will Find Here
- Clear education on common conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, neuromas, and post op recovery.
- Advice grounded in peer reviewed literature from journals such as JFAS, AOFAS, and APMA.
- Product reviews based on clinic use and research. If I recommend it, it is because it helps real patients.
- Pediatric insights from a practicing podiatrist and parent who cares about tiny feet as much as big ones.
My Background
- Double board certified in foot and ankle surgery.
- Surgical focus on minimally invasive techniques, reconstructive limb salvage, and sports medicine including youth athletes.
- Full time practice in North Carolina with the largest fully private podiatry group in the state.
- Committed to education for patients and professionals with a critical eye toward unproven claims.
What I Believe
- Science beats wellness hype.
- Each foot is unique. Your plan should be tailored to you.
- Pseudoscience takes money and time from people who need real help.
- Simpler tools often work best. Focus on the root cause and avoid quick fix traps.
- Patient education is essential in a busy world that often forgets to explain the why.
