Dr. Dix, a board certified foot and reconstructive rearfoot/ankle surgeon at Avera Medical Group Orthopedics & Sports Medicine in Sioux Falls, SD, offers expertise in the surgical treatment of a variety of foot and ankle conditions – for all ages – due to injury, trauma, deformity, or conditions such as arthritis, ankle instability, bunions, flatfoot, high arch feet, and more. As a young athlete, Dr. Dix experienced foot problems from sports injuries, including many sprained ankles. After seeing the benefits of working with a podiatrist first hand and shadowing a podiatrist during high school, he was inspired to become a podiatrist who also offers sports medicine services. “Being able to help patients heal and get back to doing the activities they enjoy and the lifestyle they want is the best part of what I get to do every day,” he says. “I strive to treat all patients as if they were my family members, to look out for them and take care of their needs.”
