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.
