Navid Sadoughi, DPM, D.ABFAS FACFAS
Fellowship-Trained in Orthoplastic & Microsurgical Reconstruction of the Lower Extremity
Double Board-Certified Foot & Ankle Surgeon
Chair, Peripheral Nerve Section – Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics (SBMT)
Board of Directors & Advisory Board – SBMT
Dr. Navid Sadoughi, DPM, FACFAS is a nationally recognized, double board-certified foot and ankle surgeon with certifications in Foot Surgery and Reconstructive Rearfoot and Ankle Surgery from the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS). He is fellowship-trained in Orthoplastic and Peripheral Nerve Surgery of the Lower Extremity, with advanced expertise in complex neurovascular reconstruction, limb salvage, and functional restoration of the lower leg and foot.
Dr. Sadoughi blends traditional surgical mastery with cutting-edge nerve reconstruction techniques to restore mobility, relieve pain, and dramatically improve patient outcomes. His clinical expertise spans nerve decompression, nerve transfers, end-to-side transfers, neurectomy for spastic equinovarus, major flap elevation, fasciocutaneous and muscle flap reconstruction, tendon transfers, and advanced limb-salvage reconstruction for trauma, neuropathy, and chronic disease.
A pioneer in his field, Dr. Sadoughi has performed the first superficial peroneal–to–deep peroneal nerve transfer for the treatment of CRPS and a saphenous nerve–to–posterior tibial nerve end-to-side transfer for severe diabetic polyneuropathy—procedures rarely performed in the United States and representing the forefront of modern peripheral nerve surgery.
He is also a global leader in education and innovation. Dr. Sadoughi founded and chairs the Peripheral Nerve Section of the Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics (SBMT), collaborating with leading neurosurgeons and orthoplastic surgeons worldwide on advanced protocols for nerve injury, nerve regeneration, limb salvage, and microsurgical reconstruction. He serves on both the Board of Directors and the Advisory Board of the SBMT and lectures internationally on lower-extremity peripheral nerve pathology.
In addition to his nerve surgery practice, Dr. Sadoughi provides comprehensive foot and ankle care, including minimally invasive surgery, ankle arthroscopy, fracture management, and total ankle replacement, always prioritizing conservative options before surgical intervention.
Today, Dr. Sadoughi’s practice integrates state-of-the-art imaging, biologics, nerve-specific diagnostic technology, and advanced in-office procedures—allowing him to treat everything from elite-level sports injuries to the most complex limb salvage cases. His mission is simple: restore function, relieve pain, and give patients back their independence.
