Welcome to Grand Valley Foot and Ankle Center of Grand Junction, Colorado. Our clinics were initially established as a partnership in 1995 between two physicians who trained together at Stanford University Medical Center. Over the years, the original partnership has evolved into a fifteen employee medical corporation, including five highly trained physicians. Proudly, this represents one of the largest podiatry practices in the state of Colorado. The main office originated in Grand Junction and has subsequently expanded through a satellite location in Rifle.

This group currently boasts over fifty years of combined experience specializing in ailments of the foot, ankle, and lower extremities. These pathologies can vary in nature and severity from soft tissue or skin disorders to structural or skeletal deformities. Sports related injuries, biomechanical anormalities, and underlying systemic diseases, such as diabetes, often times exacerbate the problems treated through this clinic. A wide array of diagnostic and therapeutic modalities are available through one clinical setting. Treatment options can range from non-invasive medicinal methods or physical therapy type modalities to minimally invasive surgery or ultimately more advanced reconstructive procedures.

Our offices are state-of-the-art and we intend to continue to evolve as advancement in medicine allows. Our mission is to restore proper lower extremity health and function to those in need. Dr. C.J. Daniel, Dr. T. A. Griffiths, Dr. J.M. Feild, Dr. T.S. Schmitt, and Dr. H.D. Kaufman wish to extend, in advance, their appreciation for the confidence you may extend to us by making an appointment through our clinics. We look forward to serving you to the best of our abilities.
