Dr. Robert M. Brarens is actively involved in continuing to advance his field of medicine both personally and professionally.  He participates in three residency programs in the greater Cincinnati area- training physicians and surgeons for the future.   In addition, Dr. Brarens assists several companies in the development of new surgical tools and techniques for the treatment of foot and ankle disorders. He is a member of the College of Excellence which is an organization aimed at the education of all surgeons and medical professionals on the use of external fixation systems. Dr. Brarens is the only surgeon in the Cincinnati tri-state area to hold credentialing for all approved Total Ankle Replacement Systems. 

Dr. Brarens started SureStep Foot & Ankle with a distinct vision that with the dedication  of a tremendous staff we have been able to achieve his mission:  
Our goal with every patient is to make their day, their lives, better from the moment they enter our care.  We work hard to make our office personal and friendly. Most people enter our “home” in pain; we do our very best not to add to their discomfort from the first phone call to the moment they cross our threshold. 

Our office is different than most, striving for a small town feel in a big city.  Though we are professional and respectful, you will find warm and friendly smiles from our staff, managers, physicians and most importantly our patients as soon as you walk through our door.  I find smiles and laughter can be as healing as medicine and try to administer a little every day.
