Berkeley Podiatrist Group

Our podiatrists have received extensive clinical and surgical training in treating conditions of the foot and ankle. Dr. Beatrice Schmugler and Dr. Cherri Choate started the practice in 1992. Most recently, Dr. Yuko Miyazaki joined the group to better serve the growing number of patients. Together our podiatrists use their expertise to serve the Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco Bay area communities. We also have the only Vietnamese speaking and Japanese speaking podiatrists in the East Bay.
