Lant J. Abernathy, D.P.M.

I proudly serve San Luis Obispo County, Northern Santa Barbara County (Santa Maria), and Southern Monterey County (King City), catering to the diverse needs of our community. Growing up in the community I serve has been a privilege, instilling in me a deep appreciation for tight-knit, family-oriented values. At Advanced Foot and Ankle Associates, we extend these values to our practice. Our small, personable team treats patients like family members, providing competent and skilled care with a personal touch. What sets us apart is our expertise in advanced techniques in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, trauma, and sports medicine.

With a father who has practiced medicine for 35 years, I've inherited invaluable lessons in patient care and compassion. Patient needs always come first, and I take pride in providing the utmost care on a case-by-case basis. Recognizing that every case is unique, I believe in addressing not only the physical ailment but also the social and functional needs of each patient. My commitment begins with exploring conservative and nonsurgical treatments. Should these approaches prove inadequate, I am prepared to offer surgical intervention with the goal of restoring my patients' quality of life. Honest and comprehensive care lies at the heart of my practice philosophy.
