Certifications Matter
The American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ABFAS) and The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) set the gold standard in board certification. Ensure your surgical outcomes by only working with a surgeon if they are ABFAS and ACFAS board certified.
At Shasta Ortho our team of foot and ankle surgeons are not only dual-board-certified by ABFAS but also held Fellowships with the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) and hold FACFAS credentials.
Shasta Ortho boasts the only team of dual board-certified foot and ankle surgeons in the North State. Dr. Jason Nowak and Dr. Garret Strand are certified in forefoot/midfoot reconstruction and reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery.
Remember, certification matters—your surgical outcomes depend on it.
