Dr. Bryan Hersh

Sports medicine and regenerative care

Dr. Bryan Hersh practices at Weil Foot & Ankle Institute (formerly The Center for Podiatric Medicine), with three convenient Illinois locations in the River North neighborhood of Chicago, Schaumburg, and Bannockburn.

He began his medical career as an undergraduate student at Michigan State University in East Lansing, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in zoology. Dr. Hersh continued onto Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago, where he did research as well as clinical work, and graduated with honors in 1999.

Dr. Hersh continued his postdoctoral training in the Seattle area, where he completed a surgical residency serving as chief resident and worked with some of the top surgeons in the United States. During this time, he developed a special interest in sports medicine and completed advanced training in this sub-specialty as well as endoscopy, arthroscopy, and extensive flatfoot reconstructive procedures. Despite his hectic schedule, Dr. Hersh also found time to publish a paper in unusual Achilles tendon ruptures.

Dr. Hersh returned to Chicago after residency and has continued to practice medicine in the city he loves. His specialties include sports medicine as he works with the Joffrey Ballet, other dance companies, and high-level gymnasts. He enjoys regenerative medicine to enhance the body's own healing without surgery.

Outside of work, Dr. Hersh spends time with his wife and three boys. He helps coach baseball, basketball and soccer games for his kids and also enjoys taking his two large dogs on walks or going on long bike rides on the trails in his neighborhood.

He is passionate about podiatry and many of the new techniques, advances, and treatments that can be offered to his patients. Dr. Hersh looks forward to meeting you and developing a relationship of comfort and trust so we can work together to solve your foot and ankle problems.
