Growing up in a family of physicians gave Dr. Alex Yanovskiy an immersion into patient care and the medical field from an early age. Driven by his passion for patient-centered care, he founded Illinois Foot & Ankle Clinic in Des Plaines, Illinois.
Dr. Yanovskiy earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine from Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago. He completed his internship and a three-year foot and ankle surgical residency at Sacred Heart Hospital in Chicago, excelling in both surgical and general podiatric care.
He specializes in diabetic foot care, bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, plantar warts, sports injuries, and pediatric foot care for congenital deformities and developmental concerns. Dr. Yanovskiy is an active member of the American Podiatric Medical Association and the American Diabetes Association and regularly mentors new podiatrists through residency programs and office rotations.
