Robin Lie DPM

At Bay Area Foot and Ankle Associates, we believe that everyone deserves to live a life free from foot pain and discomfort. Our team, led by Dr. Robin Lie, a Sports Podiatrist with a deep understanding of the human body and its intricate biomechanics, is dedicated to providing comprehensive care that not only treats your symptoms but also addresses the root cause of your condition.

Dr. Lie, who has been practicing podiatry for over two decades, has a unique approach to treating his patients. He integrates standard podiatry care with a sports medicine philosophy, understanding that every individual has different needs and goals. For some, it may mean being able to run daily errands without pain, while for others, it could entail competing in a marathon. Dr. Lie believes in a personalized treatment approach, where the same condition may be treated differently to account for the patient's lifestyle and goals.

Our team is committed to providing the highest level of care to our patients. We understand that foot pain can be debilitating and affect every aspect of your life. Therefore, we offer a wide range of services designed to diagnose and treat various foot conditions effectively.

Services Offered

Our clinic offers a variety of services, including:

• Custom Foot Orthotics, Shoe and Orthotic Evaluation, Gait and Running Form Analysis, Corrective Exercise, and Athletic Taping: These services are particularly beneficial for athletes and individuals who engage in regular physical activity.
