Dr. David Gerst has always had two interests: medicine and sports. It was only natural that this would lead him to combine those two passions by pursuing a career in podiatry. For 30 years, Dr. Gerst has been helping Chicagoans with their foot needs through his podiatry practice. Dr. Gerst earned his bachelor’s degree at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana. He received his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine from Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago. He has been treating Chicagoland patients for their foot problems since 1990. Dr. Gerst is also board certified in foot surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. Dr. Gerst also never gave up his love of sports and athletic activities. He has competed in a whopping 21 Ironman Triathlons, including one in Kona, HI in 2005. He is also an avid runner, having completed nine marathons, including the 100th Boston Marathon in 1996. If he’s not running, swimming or biking, you might find Dr. Gerst enjoying the great outdoors with his wife and three children.

Very efficient, Timely, Professional

Was very knowledgeable, he clearly understood what my issue was, provided very clear advice and instructions. He even created a temporary sole to support my feet, and I walked out feeling much better than I walked in. Great Service

I was impressed.

I had an issue that was explained clearly and with honesty that it could recur. If there is a recurrence an alternative solution was explained.

AWESOME and KNOWLEDGEABLE.

My experience was positive. Dr. Gerst looked at both toes and was able to immediately tell me the problem and explain to me what could be done to remedy the problem. He checked to see when or if the procedure was previously done. Came back to tell me his findings and prep me for the procedure. His assistant and front desk staff were very pleasant and accommodating. In a word AWESOME

Great, he told me what was needed

I have faith in Dr. Gerst. He got me to the point that he could examine my feet without me jumping due to discomfort. His bedside/office manner is impeccable.

Dr. David Gerst is the great.

He is very knowledgeable in this area of expertise. I say this because he was able to tell me exactly what was going on with my ankle, foot and toes within a few minutes and he was spot on! I've seen him on a couple of previous visits and he is consistent in the kind, caring way he talks to and takes care of his patients. I will continue to see him as well as recommend his services. His staff team is great also.
