Dr. Wrege was wonderful and diagnosed arthritis as the cause of my foot pain. He gave me great suggestions for dealing with it. However, the front desk receptionist was not very friendly or congenial. I was wondering if she gotShow more up on the wrong side of the bed that morning.
Dr. Wrege is very kind and knowledgeable in the care of my foot. I am very glad I went in when I did, being my ulcer wasn’t healing with my own care. Today it is much much better. Thank you
Steven Wrege, DPM, is a podiatrist at Foot & Ankle Specialists of New Mexico. At the practice’s locations in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, South Valley, Edgewood, and Grants, New Mexico, he proudly provides comprehensive foot and ankle care.
Dr. Wrege is a graduate of Indiana University Bloomington, where he received his undergraduate degree in chemistry. He received his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine in 1988 from Des Moines University in Iowa before completing his residency at the VA Medical Center in Albuquerque. He then went on to complete a fellowship with the Indiana Podiatric Medical Association.
Dr. Wrege is board certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery in foot surgery and reconstructive rearfoot/ankle surgery. Dr. Wrege has been president of the American Diabetes Association – Mountain States Region for Healthcare and Education, where he focused on the prevention of amputation in patients with diabetes. From 2010-2012, his peers elected him as president of the New Mexico Podiatric Medical Association.
In the medical review edition of Albuquerque The Magazine, Dr. Wrege has been consistently listed as one of the city’s best podiatrists. In 2010, a guide to America’s Top Podiatrists by Consumers Research Council of America also named Dr. Wrege one of the nation’s top podiatrists. He was named Podiatrist of the Year by New Mexico Podiatric Medical Association in 2013.
Dr. Wrege has been practicing in Albuquerque since 1992. He possesses the rare combination of an excellent surgeon and a friendly, caring, and down-to-earth personality. Dr. Wrege takes pride in treating his patients in the same way that he would treat his own family. Although he is a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, rarely is surgery the first option for the majority of foot and ankle problems. Most of the time, he can get patients better without surgery.
When he’s away from the office, Dr. Wrege enjoys skiing, golfing, scuba diving, and traveling with his family. He is married to a native of Albuquerque, and they have two children.

Dr. Wrege is very kind and knowledgeable in the care of my foot. I am very glad I went in when I did, being my ulcer wasn’t healing with my own care. Today it is much much better. Thank you
Excellent bedside manner! Healed my mother's heels. Excellent doctor and great staff! A+++
The office staff was pretty pleasant but it can be difficult to fill out all the paperwork if you have a minor impairment like I do. I have a fine line tremor which makes filling out paperwork on a clipboard rather daunting. There was one office staff member who made a comment to her coworkers "that she was going to crash out if she had to work with one of the patients any longer trying to finish checking her out" for the day. She was quite elderly and was having a difficult time understanding what the office receptionist was trying to say. The doctor was professional and I think I received a fair treatment plan to deal with my feet. The only other thing I noticed was that the tools that were placed on the back counter seemed to be used over and over again which didn't seem very sanitary especially if they had been used by a prior patient. My nail bled quite a bit and if those same cutters were used in the treatment of the next patient then there might have been the possibility of the transmission of bodily fluids.

Dr. Wrege has performed surgery on both my right and left foot. He is caring, considerate, knowledgeable, and has a great bedside manor. He answers questions well and thoroughly. My first surgery went well and I was so well pleased with the results, I went back for the same surgery on the opposite fit. He came very well recommended and he did not disappoint. Thanks, Dr. Wrege! So nice to walk without pain.

Dr Wrege is very professional & caring
I had established care with another Podiatrist in Albuquerque, prior to Dr. Wrege. Dr. Wrege took the time to review my recent CT scan in depth, prior to our visit. He explained my problems in clear detail, with his recommendations, possible treatment modalities, and follow up plan, prior to completion of our visit. Would highly recommend Dr. Wrege.
Good, very nice, and knowledgeable doctor. Good professional staff.
