Dr. Alan Shih

Dr. Alan Shih is Head to Toe Healthcare’s board certified podiatrist. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Movement Science from the University of Michigan and then enrolled in podiatric school at the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. After graduation, he went on to complete a one-year internship at Tennessee Valley VA Medical Center, and a one-year surgical residency program at the Southern Arizona VA Medical Center. He followed this with the highest level of surgical training at a level-one trauma center in Chicago — Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center – where he spent two years. 

Upon completion of his residency, Alan had the privilege and unique opportunity to study the Ilizarov technique in its birthplace of Russia for a mini-surgical fellowship. This is training that less than 1% of the podiatric profession has gained. For a brief time following graduation from residency, Alan also enjoyed teaching podiatric students surgical techniques as a visiting lecturer at the Rosalind Franklin School of Medicine in Chicago.
