Dr. Glenn Pfeffer is the Director of the Foot and Ankle Surgery program at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. Having performed over 700 CMT foot surgeries, Dr. Pfeffer has dedicated his life to straightening the CMT foot, enabling people to regain their ability to walk with ease. Consulting with people globally, he continuously goes above and beyond for his patients, setting time aside on weekends and evenings to discuss individual cases.

A perfectionist by nature, Dr. Pfeffer empathizes with your anxiety, fears, and doubts. Having experienced life-limiting foot problems his entire life, he understands pain, immobility, and frustration firsthand. With heartfelt passion, Dr. Pfeffer wants you to know, “Hope remains very much alive for the CMT patient.” Listen to this genuine conversation, then fix what you can before it is too late.
