Dr. Loncarich sees patients with a wide range of ankle problems, including simple sprains, masses on the feet, and bigger problems with bad ankle fractures or infections of the ankle. Dr. Loncarich believes that many ankle problems can be managed conservatively without surgery. He believes patients should have a chance to manage their problems conservatively without compromising their final outcome. Ultimately, being able to help others and change lives is Dr. Loncarich’s passion.
