About the Doctor
Specialized expertise in foot and ankle surgery.
Welcome. I am Dr. Ali Alhaddad, an orthopedic surgeon. My main goal is to help you walk comfortably, live without pain, and safely return to the daily activities and sports you love. From my medical education at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland to specialized foot and ankle training at the University of Toronto in Canada, each step of my journey has focused on delivering advanced, patient-centered care.
I prioritize gentle, non-surgical approaches whenever appropriate, guided by current medical research and international standards. When surgery is the right option, I use modern techniques—including minimally invasive and keyhole procedures—to make treatment as safe and effective as possible and support a smooth recovery tailored to your needs.

View All FAQs (6)When should I see a foot and ankle surgeon?+
The Broström-Gould procedure is the gold-standard surgical technique for repairing chronically torn lateral ankle ligaments. Through a small lateral incision or arthroscopic assistance, the attenuated ATFL and CFL ligaments are tensioned and re-anchored to the fibula using high-strength suture anchors, reinforced by the inferior extensor retinaculum for durable joint stability.
Does every foot condition require surgery?+
No. Many conditions improve through physical therapy, activity changes, suitable footwear, medication, or injections. Surgery is considered only when appropriate.
How long does recovery take?+
It depends on the procedure and your health. Some procedures require weeks, while others need several months of progressive rehabilitation.
Should I bring imaging to my appointment?+
Bring any previous scans or medical reports. Additional imaging may be requested after examination.
How do I access a full recovery protocol?+
