Portrait of Dr. Adam S. Howard

Foot and ankle surgery with a focus on trauma

Always drawn to healthcare and helping others, Dr. Howard decided to pursue a career that combined both. He attended Linfield College in Oregon, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences. He then enrolled in the William M. Scholl School of Podiatric Medicine where he received his Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine in 2006. After finishing his schooling, he moved back West where he did an additional 3 years of surgical training at the Veterans Hospital in Palo Alto. At the Veterans Hospital, Dr. Howard was exposed to many different types of patients and received extensive training in wound care/trauma. Dr. Howard is passionate about sports, and he likes working with those that have suffered sports related injuries. He is also very involved in advocating for his profession and has served as President of the Santa Clara Valley Podiatric Medical Association and California Podiatric Medical Association. In his free time, he likes to exercise, play golf, and travel with his wife and 2 kids.
