Dr. Brandon Borer, doctor of podiatric medicine at Columbus Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Clinic, has gained an additional certification in rearfoot and ankle surgery from the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.

ABFAS board certification is the highest standard in foot and ankle surgery. It signifies that surgeons have demonstrated to their peers and to the public that they have the clinical judgment, surgical skills and ability to provide excellent patient care.

"I am pleased to offer my added certification and expertise to the residents of Antelope County and its surrounding communities," Borer said.

Dr. Borer offers an outpatient podiatry clinic at Antelope Memorial Hospital on the first Tuesday of each month. He specializes in the surgical treatment of the foot and ankle, including trauma, reconstructive surgery and sports medicine. He treats foot and ankle problems to include sprains, fractures, flat feet, bunions, heel pain/plantar fasciitis, bone spurs, hammertoes, neuromas, ingrown and fungal toenails, infections, neuropathy, warts, gout, corns and calluses. He also renders care for diabetic and arthritic feet.

"Dr. Borer's new rearfoot certification demonstrates his dedication to providing the most advanced treatments for all types of conditions of the foot and ankle," said Kristin Zegers, RN and AMH surgical director. "His efforts continue to ensure that patients in the AMH service area have access to high quality, comprehensive foot and ankle care. We are excited to expand upon our podiatric services here at AMH."
