VP Foot & Ankle Specialist is a four-location podiatry practice located in the Printer's Row and Garfield Ridge, neighborhoods of Chicago, Norridge, and Mundelein, Illinois. Aaron Raestas, DPM, and the VP Foot & Ankle Specialist team offer the highest quality podiatry care and use the latest non-operative treatments as well as surgeries to address a wide range of foot and ankle complications.
Prior to entering private practice, Dr. Raestas earned his doctorate in podiatric medicine from Rosalind Franklin University, here in Chicago. He then completed his residency training at St. Mary’s Hospital in Passaic, New Jersey, where he received extensive training in forefoot surgery, rearfoot/ankle reconstruction, and limb salvage. Dr. Raestas is also trained in advanced wound care therapies and certified in total ankle replacement surgery. Dr. Raestas is currently on staff at Thorek Memorial Hospital, where he performs surgery and is involved in both outpatient and inpatient care.
At VP Foot & Ankle Specialist, patients of all ages can explore procedures and services to help them overcome the obstacles that come with foot injuries, complications, and deformities. Dr. Raestas assesses patients using high-tech imaging tests like X-rays and compassionately listens as they share their concerns and symptoms.
VP Foot & Ankle Specialist frequently treats patients for injuries like ankle sprains and bone fractures as well as deformities that develop over time, like bunions, hammertoe, and Charcot arthropathy. Additionally, Dr. Raestas and his team provide advanced care for corns, calluses, and diabetic foot ulcers.
Most treatment plans at VP Foot & Ankle Specialist start with non-operative measures like medications, physical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and custom orthotics. Treatments like these promote healing without scalpels, scarring, and long healing periods.
Despite his focus on non-surgical therapies, Dr. Raestas has extensive experience with advanced surgeries like total ankle replacement and foot arthroscopy, or minimally invasive surgery, and can plan them in cases where conservative measures cannot provide relief.
Any complication involving the foot or ankle can get worse with time because of the pressures of standing, walking, or wearing shoes that don’t provide adequate foot support. To schedule an evaluation, call the VP Foot & Ankle Specialist location nearest you, or book online today.

Timothy Kruse, DPM, is a highly skilled podiatrist serving patients at Northside Foot & Ankle PC in River North, Chicago, and Evanston, Illinois. A podiatrist for over a decade, he provides a one-on-one, open, and communicative experience for every patient at his practice.
Dr. Kruse was born with clubbed feet and had to undergo numerous surgeries as a child. Because he spent so much time surrounded by healthcare providers, he had a unique window into podiatric medicine from a young age. Those experiences sparked his interest in medicine.
In 2001, Dr. Kruse earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. He then began a competitive three-year surgical residency. During his training, Dr. Kruse consulted nervous parents worried about the surgeries their children needed. Easing their fears and assuring them that their children could lead full lives after surgery for clubbed feet, like he did, was an incredible experience.
Dr. Kruse emphasizes education. He takes the time to explain the treatment process to his patients so they have the tools and knowledge to take charge of their own health moving forward.
Dr. Kruse believes in efficient appointments with no wait time. As the owner of Northside Foot & Ankle PC, he's thrilled to have complete autonomy regarding how patients are cared for.
When not in the office, Dr. Kruse frequents the theater and enjoys going to movies and seeing friends. As a part of his commitment to health, he hits the gym often and takes spin classes. Summer in Chicago is his favorite time of year; he loves art, the live music scene, and the plentiful street festivals.
