VICTOR PUTZ, DPM

Associate Podiatrist

Hello, my name is Dr. Victor Putz and I’m excited to join the Bay City Foot Clinic as an associate podiatrist (joined Jul 2024). I completed my undergraduate degree in neuroscience at Michigan State University, which included the enriching opportunity to study the healthcare system in Mexico. During that time, I worked with multiple doctors across various specialties, which broadened my perspective on how best to care for patients. My experiences working for a podiatrist and volunteering at a wound clinic deepened my passion for podiatric medicine and surgery.

To complete my medical education, I moved to Cleveland, Ohio to study at the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine. Once I graduated, I returned back home to Michigan where I completed my residency training at McLaren Oakland Hospital. During my residency, I had the privilege of working alongside doctors who are leaders in foot reconstruction and pioneers of new techniques. These experiences have equipped me with a solid foundation in advanced podiatric care. I look forward to bringing my expertise and enthusiasm to our practice, where I am committed to delivering compassionate and cutting-edge care to each patient.
