About

Dr. Adeleke D.P.M., FACFAS is a fellowship-trained podiatrist and foot and ankle surgeon. Dr. Adeleke treats the full spectrum of foot conditions both non-surgically and surgically including: plantar fasciitis, lower extremity tendonitis, sprains, ankle fractures, joint diseases, Achilles tendon ruptures, bunions, hammertoes, flat foot, high arches, club foot, pediatric care and diabetic foot care. Surgical treatment can include fracture surgical repair, bunion surgery, flat foot reconstruction, club foot reconstruction, surgical treatment of joint diseases/arthritis and surgery for Charcot foot. 

Dr. Adeleke was born in London, Ontario to Nigerian immigrant parents. He was eventually raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, which he refers to as home. Dr. Adeleke earned his Bachelor of Science at the University of Jamestown where he also participated in collegiate basketball. 

Dr. Adeleke is double Board Certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery. He received his podiatry medical training at Des Moines University and was subsequently accepted to one of the most prestigious residencies in the country; The Western Pennsylvania Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Here Dr. Adeleke learned sound, innovative surgical techniques in the foot and ankle and became a peer-reviewed published author. 

Following his years in Pittsburgh, Dr. Adeleke was awarded an extremely competitive fellowship position at The American Foundation of Lower Extremity Surgery & Research in Alamogordo, New Mexico. During fellowship training, Dr. Adeleke was exposed to a rigorous curriculum of foot, ankle & leg pathology with a focus on advanced foot & ankle surgery/reconstruction, arthroscopy, trauma, external fixation, and total joint replacement. 

By taking the time to get to know each patient, Dr. Adeleke aims to understand their hobbies and lifestyles so he can individualize their medical care plan to match their personal goals.  

In his spare time, Dr. Adeleke enjoys traveling, the arts including plays and movies, as well as staying active by exercising and playing basketball.
