Mt. Vernon, IL -- Podiatric foot and ankle surgeon and Illinois native Dr. Asim Qureshi, DPM, has opened an office inside the Crossroads Orthopedic Clinic with Drs. McIntosh and Mulhern, as well as Justin Northcutt, PA.
"We are excited to welcome Dr. Qureshi to Crossroads Orthopedic Clinic and begin offering podiatry services to residents of Mt. Vernon and the region," said Crossroads Community Hospital Administrator and VP of Southern Illinois Market, Ed Cunningham. "Dr. Qureshi has been a valuable member of the medical staff at Heartland Regional Medical Center in Marion and we are excited to be able to bring his surgical skills to the Mt. Vernon community as well."
Dr. Qureshi specializes in diabetic limb saving procedures, foot and ankle trauma, heel pain treatment, bunion deformity correction, hammertoe correction, and different areas in elective and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery along with minimally invasive surgical techniques.
"My mission is to help my patients reduce or alleviate their foot or ankle pain," said Qureshi. "I believe when I can educate a patient about their conditions we can work together as a team and to determine the right solution."
A graduate of Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in Chicago, Dr. Qureshi completed his residency in podiatry at Inspira Health Network in Vineland, New Jersey. After practicing medicine on the East Coast, Dr. Qureshi returned to Illinois. In his free time, Dr. Qureshi enjoys outdoor activities, including hiking at the Garden of the Gods.
