During his time at SBH, Dr. Prakash also worked under many orthopedic surgeons and had the wonderful training opportunity to augment his podiatric armamentarium by performing most orthopedic surgical procedures from start to finish under the guidance of his orthopedic surgeons. During his last year of training he served as chief resident overseeing 18 residents. On a scholastic level, during his last two years of residency Dr. Prakash was selected as the Resident Liaison for the American Society of Podiatric Surgeons, representing all residents on a national level.

Orthotics are beneficial in many situations depending on current shoe gear and gait. If orthotics are suggested we at Lake Washington Foot and Ankle Clinic will first check with your insurance for coverage and authorization. 

​

Our orthotics are made the "old-fashioned," way by utilizing a plaster cast method for capturing your foot in neutral suspension (a correct position for day to day walking). The plaster cast typically has most patients happy and pleased with the device made with minimal adjustments needed, if any.
