About Dr. Carlis
Dr. Carlis joined the Valley Foot and Ankle team in 2016. He grew up on the east coast in Allentown, Pennsylvania and received his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from The University of Vermont. At Portland State University he completed his Pre-medical coursework and then received his Podiatric Medical degree from The California School of Podiatric Medicine in Oakland, California. Dr. Carlis attended a three year surgical Residency at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York.
“I decided to pursue my career in medicine after having been exposed to foot and ankle biomechanics while making custom insoles as a ski boot fitter. After spending time with a Podiatrist, I knew this medical specialty was a perfect fit. I enjoy the diversity within the profession that offers me the ability to work in sports medicine as well as perform surgery and in- office procedures. The breadth of the profession keeps me excited about the many approaches available for treating my patients.”

“I enjoy taking the time to listen to my patients to better understand how their condition affects their daily lives.
