The Gaithersburg Foot and Ankle Surgery Center is a fully accredited surgical center in Dr. Sherman’s office. Dr. Sherman has opened his own ambulatory surgery center, certified and licensed by the state of Maryland. We found that we could offer specialized procedures in a more informal setting at a fraction of the cost associated with hospital surgery.

Because outpatient foot surgery is all that we do here, we have become extremely proficient at this and our staff has done the procedures you may need hundreds of times.

We have all of the latest monitoring devices, operatory equipment and do procedures under local anesthesia or intravenous or conscious sedation. Our anesthesiologists are Board Certified and patients usually leave within 30 minutes after the completion of their procedure. We have a casual waiting room for family and friends. Parking is directly out front and free.
