The weather has taken a solid turn towards spring, and it is time to shed the lethargy of winter, pull out the athletic shoes and start moving! With every step an active person takes however, there is the inherent risk of injury. One moment you are flying along, and the next, you might be crumpled on the sidewalk with a sprained ankle, or worse, a fracture! It is times like these when you need the expert and professional podiatric care of Dr. John Volpe and Dr. Jordan DeHaven of Dr. Volpe's Foot & Ankle practice in Cranston.

Dr. John Volpe has been a podiatric surgeon for 19 years, and within that time has surmounted many personal obstacles that have given him an understanding of what it is like to be on the other side of the scalpel. In 1998, Dr. Volpe was diagnosed with oral cancer, from which he has fully recovered. This experience has given Dr. Volpe a unique perspective to his practice, and a unique empathy. An avid cyclist and lifelong athlete, he has hardly been slowed down by his battle with cancer, and has a genuine appreciation for a healthy body that compels him to provide the utmost of care to his patients.

Dr. Jordan DeHaven is new to this practice, but not new to podiatric medicine. He received his professional schooling at both Purdue University and NY's College of Podiatric Medicine, and completed his residency at Roger Williams Medical Center before joining Dr. Volpe in 2010. Also an active person, Dr. DeHaven brings a youthful sensibility to this practice and applies this to the expert care he gives to his patients of all ages.

Dr.Vople and Dr. DeHaven treat literally every aspect of podiatric care: orthopedic, neurological, dermatological, and even internal medicine concerns as they apply to the foot and ankle. They strive to deliver the most appropriate treatment for each individual patient from conservative care to reconstructive foot surgery.
