Welcome to our practice in Zephyrhills, FL! I am Dr. Abuamaish, a board-eligible podiatrist dedicated to providing comprehensive care for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. Growing up in the vibrant Tampa Bay area, I developed a strong connection to this community, which ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in podiatry. I completed my undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of South Florida, where I built a solid foundation in the sciences and developed a passion for healthcare. My medical education continued at Temple University, where I earned my Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree. This rigorous training equipped me with the expertise to address a diverse array of foot and ankle issues.
My specialty encompasses the full spectrum of ankle and foot problems, including but not limited to: Diabetic Foot Care: Management of diabetic foot ulcers and neuropathy to prevent complications.

I perform various surgical procedures on the foot and ankle but emphasize non-surgical treatments as the first line of management. I am committed to exhausting all non-surgical options to ensure the most conservative approach before considering surgical interventions. My residency training was completed at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital, where I had the honor of serving as chief resident. This experience provided me with advanced training in areas such as foot and ankle deformities, reconstruction, trauma, wound care, limb salvage, and sports medicine.
