Dr. Andrea Aedo, Board Certified Podiatrist, bucks the trend and joins Hacker Dermatology

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., April 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "Foot problems affect all our patients and those problems can result in falls and difficulty walking due to pain and arthritis," says Dr. Steven Hacker, Founder of Hacker Dermatology. Dr. Hacker should know with experience of over 100,000 dermatology patient encounters in the last 28 years. "Foot disorders currently affect 80% of our older patients and affect their quality of life, " Hacker maintains.

In fact, a recent article published in March 2018's Disease a Month Journal corroborates Dr. Hacker's concerns.  The authors observed that the incidence of foot problems can affect up to 87% of older patients and these problems are associated with "poor quality of life, balance impairment, and increased risk of falls,".

"I wanted to add the most talented and experienced podiatrist to our practice." and after Hacker completed a nationwide search, Dr. Andrea Aedo fit the bill. Dr. Aedo, a mother of two, had over 12 years of surgical Podiatry experience. Dr. Aedo completed a three-year intensive surgical & trauma podiatric medicine residency at Jackson North Medical Center where she served as Chief Resident in 2009.
