Podiatrist in Florida - Jim Pruchniewski, DPM, FACFAOM

Dr. James Pruchniewski, MS, DPM, FACFAOM

Dr. Jim was born in Buffalo, NY. He received his B.S in Biology at Niagara University and an M.S at Canisius College. After teaching science in public schools for 12 years, Dr. Jim moved to Chicago where he graduated from the Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in 1986. He completed his residency in Tampa at the James Haley V.A Medical Center.

While mountain climbing in 1977, he was trapped in a blizzard and suffered third-degree frostbite. Fortunately, the U.S Olympic ski team was training at Lake Placid, where he was taken to the hospital. The team's podiatrist actually kept him from undergoing an amputation, choosing instead an alternative treatment. Today his feet are fine thanks to the skill and knowledge of that foot specialist. This experience convinced him to leave teaching and become a podiatrist.
