Are you interested in a podiatry fellowship?
Consider our ACFAS Recognized Fellowship program in the Louisville, Kentucky area!
Our goal is to provide the fellow with a well-rounded understanding of surgery of the foot and ankle. We provide a mixture of forefoot, mid-foot, pediatric, rearfoot and ankle surgery. Charcot, diabetic limb salvage, and trauma surgery is also taught! With twelve surgeons on staff, our fellows are exposed to a wide variety of foot and ankle surgery techniques. We strive to improve the fellow in all aspects of podiatric care including clinical, surgical, and inpatient so the fellow can improve their peri- and post-operative management of patients. Practice management, including managing your own clinic, is also a focus of this program.
We accept two fellows per year, and there is travel expected between six office locations. The locations that our fellows frequent are:
2818 Grant Line Road, New Albany, Indiana
4612 Outer Loop, Louisville, Kentucky
4420 Dixie Highway, Suite 130, Louisville, Kentucky
4644 Chamberlain Lane, Louisville, Kentucky
900 Chambers Blvd, Bardstown, Kentucky
3045 Ring Road, Elizabethtown, Kentucky
Most of our surgical procedures are performed at Physician's Medical Center in New Albany, Indiana. We take call at Baptist Health Floyd in New Albany, Indiana, as well as Baptist Health Hardin in Elizabethtown, Kentucky.

Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgery Fellowship-KYINFAS, In Progress
Hi everyone, I'm Charlene Dennemeyer. I was raised in Reno, Nevada, where I spent most of my free time either exploring the mountains or at Lake Tahoe. I then went from 'The Biggest Little City' to the biggest, New York City, for my podiatric medical school training. After getting my dose of city life, I continued onto a more familar setting in Colorado for residency.
Living there allowed me to enjoy some of my favorite outdoor activities such as biking, paddle boarding, kayaking, and hiking. My other interests include travel, cooking, culture, music, finding new parks and trails, documentaries and podcasts (currently true crime). I am a big foodie and am always trying to find the next best spot, so restaurant and food truck recommendations are always appreciated. My favorite TV shows of all time are Seinfeld, Breaking Bad, Alone, and The Office. -

Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgery Fellowship-KYINFAS, In Progress
Hello, my name is Joseph Lynott. I was born in Escondido, CA, and raised in Virginia Beach, VA. I am a Navy Veteran (Hospital Corpsman) with five years of military service including a tour in Iraq. After graduating from medical school, my family moved to the Northern Kentucky area for my residency.
Prior to moving inland, I was an avid surfer, waterman, and an oceanfront lifeguard. I also enjoy being outdoors for either hunting, fishing, golfing, or hikes with my family. My other hobbies include collecting vinyl records and bourbon. During the fall season, I enjoy watching NFL with my favorite team the San Diego Chargers (Not Los Angeles). I'm not much of a TV watcher but every Friday we will have a movie night with my children. Overall, I especially enjoy being a devoted father, husband, and spend most of my time with my wife and two children.
