Dr. Elie Elias is a first-generation American Lebanese foot and ankle surgeon dedicated to helping patients get back on their feet and live without pain. He has extensive experience in treating everything from common foot and ankle conditions to complex cases, including diabetic limb salvage, reconstructive surgery, wound care, and sports injuries.

As a graduate from St. Ignatius High School Dr. Elias began his medical journey studying biology at John Carroll University before earning his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine. He went on to complete his residency training at University Hospitals, where he served as Chief Resident. This strong foundation of education and hands-on surgical training prepared him to care for patients with a wide range of foot and ankle needs.

Dr. Elias believes in taking the time to listen to his patients, understand their concerns, and create treatment plans that fit their individual needs and lifestyles. He strives to provide compassionate, comprehensive care – whether the goal is healing a wound, preventing future complications, or restoring full mobility after an injury.

Outside of the office, Dr. Elias enjoys mentoring future surgeons and contributing to innovation in foot and ankle care. He is fluent in English and also speaks Arabic, which helps him connect with patients from diverse backgrounds.
