Dr. Stoddard’s focus is on managing complicated foot & ankle problems. In the early 2000’s he was the first podiatric surgeon in the state of NJ to be trained in total ankle replacements. He was trained & proctored on this challenging procedure by the world-renowned foot & ankle surgeon, Harold Schoenhaus, DPM. Several years later, Dr. Stoddard had the fortune of being proctored by the designer/inventor of a second generation total ankle replacement system known as the Inbone Total Ankle. The designer of this ankle implant is world-renowned Mark Rieley, MD who has also designed the implant for the kyphoplasty procedure used in spine surgery.

Dr. Stoddard has on-site diagnostic modalities to evaluate the bones & soft tissue structures of the foot & ankle. He performs all aspects of reconstructive foot & ankle surgery, and uses cutting-edge locking plate technology which facilitates early ambulation after procedures such as bunionectomies.
