Mohamad R. Issa, MD

About Dr. Issa

As a sports enthusiast, my lifelong involvement in athletics—particularly soccer—drew me to the intricacies of the lower extremity and its role in performance, control, and movement. These experiences shaped my decision to pursue orthopedic surgery with a focus on foot and ankle and sports medicine, where restoring mobility and helping patients regain their independence and return to activity is a true passion of mine.

Patients can count on me to provide extraordinary care because I combine a comprehensive background in orthopedic surgery with specialized expertise in foot and ankle and sports medicine. I approach every patient with diligence and attention to detail, ensuring thoughtful, evidence-based treatment tailored to each patient’s goals, function, and quality of life.

My little something extra

I am a lifelong sports fan and avid traveler. Exploring new cultures and countries gives me fresh perspectives, inspires creativity, and helps me bring empathy and curiosity into my daily interactions. My love of sports keeps me active and sharp, and it connects me to the teamwork, dedication, and discipline that I carry into my professional life.
