Dr. Darrick Proehl
Dr. Darrick W Proehl grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota. He first developed an interest in podiatry as a patient himself. As a competitive distance runner for the past 18 years, and now a “retired” triathlete, he has personally dealt with just about every injury in the book. He states, “Throughout the years I have seen at least a half dozen podiatrists for my own injuries, some good, some bad, my goal was to be one of the good ones.”
Dr. Proehl’s passion for running inspired him to dedicate his work to helping everyone find their inner athlete and overcome any foot or ankle hindrances that could be holding them back. When you meet Dr. Proehl, he not only helps fix your physical ailment, he also focuses on preventing similar issues in the future and teaches you how to work with instead of against your body.
As a graduate of one of the top podiatric medical schools in the US, the University of Des Moines, Dr. Proehl is well-trained in all aspects of the profession, from sports medicine, trauma, and general foot and ankle care. Dr. Proehl regularly participates in local races as a participant and volunteer, with his most recent involvement including ultramarathons.
Dr. Proehl graduated from a 3-year surgical residency program at the Veteran’s Hospital in Palo Alto, CA; receiving additional training at Stanford Medical Center, SOAR Medical, and Kaiser San Jose Hospital.
Besides running, Dr. Proehl enjoys skiing, biking, hiking, swimming, traveling, and spending time with his family.
