Good to know

What is a podiatrist, or DPM?

A podiatrist, or DPM, is a physician licensed to diagnose and treat conditions of the foot, ankle, and connected structures of the leg, including surgery, after four years of podiatric medical school and a hospital-based surgical residency. Dr. Stephanie Tine earned her Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine at Samuel Merritt University's California School of Podiatric Medicine, then completed a three-year foot and ankle surgical residency at Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles, where she served as chief resident. That residency shaped the focus she brings to Flamingo Foot & Ankle in Fort Lauderdale: foot and ankle care centered on reconstructive surgery, with attention to patients managing sports injury, alongside minimally invasive bunion and hammertoe correction, shockwave therapy, and injections for foot, ankle, and joint pain. Accepting new patients at Flamingo Foot & Ankle in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Patients ask

Before your first visit

A few of the questions the office hears most. If yours is not here, call.

All questions
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Tine?
No. Patients can schedule directly with Stephanie Tine, DPM, without a referral from another physician. The Fort Lauderdale practice is currently accepting new patients, and most first visits are set up with a phone call or an online request rather than a referral form.
What does DPM mean, and is a podiatrist a real doctor?
Yes. DPM stands for Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, a physician who completes four years at a college of podiatric medicine followed by a hospital based surgical residency. Dr. Tine earned her doctorate at Samuel Merritt University California School of Podiatric Medicine and completed a three year foot and ankle surgical residency at Adventist Health White Memorial in Los Angeles, where she served as chief resident. Podiatrists are licensed to diagnose and treat conditions of the foot, ankle, and related structures of the leg, including surgery.
Can a bunion be corrected without a large open incision?
Often, yes. Dr. Tine performs minimally invasive bunion surgery, which repositions the bone through small incisions instead of one long cut. Whether that approach fits a given case depends on how far the bunion has progressed and the shape of the foot, which is something an in person exam sorts out.
Does the practice treat sports injuries, or only general foot problems?
Both. Sports injury is one of Dr. Tine's focus areas, alongside foot and ankle care more broadly and reconstructive surgery for problems that have become structural or long standing. The same evaluation that looks at an acute sprain or stress injury also checks for the underlying mechanics that put an athlete at risk of re injury.
Is surgery the first step, or are there options to try first?
Usually not. Before any discussion of surgery, Dr. Tine offers injections for foot, ankle, and joint pain and shockwave therapy, both aimed at reducing pain and inflammation without an incision. These are typically tried first unless the problem is structural or hasn't responded to other conservative care, in which case reconstructive surgery or one of the minimally invasive procedures becomes part of the conversation. This information is general and does not replace an in-person evaluation. Call the Fort Lauderdale office to schedule a visit with Stephanie Tine, DPM.
