Dr. Laura E. Sokil is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in foot and ankle care and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.
Dr. Sokil completed her orthopedic surgery residency at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon, followed by a fellowship in foot and ankle surgery at the renowned Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.
She provides comprehensive surgical care for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including degenerative issues such as ankle and hindfoot arthritis, soft tissue injuries like Achilles ruptures and tendonitis, foot and ankle trauma, and deformities such as bunions.
