Dr. Timothy Beals, Associate Professor, specializes in foot and ankle care. His areas of expertise include operative and non-operative management of traumatic injuries, arthritic conditions, adult flatfoot deformities, neuromuscular disorders, complications of diabetes, and use of the Ilizarov technique. His research interests include outcome assessment of patients after injury and reconstructive surgery, musculoskeletal genetics, hindfoot biomechanics, and “third-world” Orthopaedics. Dr. Beals received his medical doctorate at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland and completed a residency in Orthopaedics at the University of Washington in Seattle, followed by a foot and ankle fellowship at Wayne State University in Michigan.
