I enjoy the challenge of helping patients with foot and ankle problems, including arthritis, tendon disorders or ruptures, and sports injuries. While my focus is my clinical practice, I keep my orthopaedic knowledge current by regularly participating as faculty in national and international orthopaedic foot and ankle conferences, conferences that frequently prompt me to bring advances to help the patients in my practice. I also continue to study many of the problems through dedicated foot and ankle research and share my clinical, surgical and research experience with national and international colleagues, the surgeons who attend the meetings, and the residents and fellows that I train each year. Dr. Easley is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Flat Feet. His top areas of expertise are Flat Feet, Kienbock's Disease, Bunions, Osteotomy, and Bone Graft.

As a child, I loved giving presents. It gave me great pleasure to select a gift and then present it to the recipient, and watch their face as they opened it. Now, I get to do the same thing for my patients. Removing patient's pain and giving them greater mobility in life is the best gift I could ever give anyone. I am so pleased I have been able to spend my life helping others, and I look forward to helping you. Dr. Deorio is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Flat Feet.
