When Dr. Isam El-Masri was awarded the Leading Medicine Guide seal for 2022, the public response was overwhelming. This honor was bestowed upon a renowned specialist who has long been intimately familiar with every aspect of diseases and injuries of the foot and ankle—and who, thanks to his vast experience, consistently delivers top-notch results even in the diagnostic phase. When selecting the most appropriate treatment for each individual, he skillfully utilizes the full spectrum of conservative methods to avoid surgery whenever possible. However, when surgery is necessary, Dr. El-Masri is considered a master of innovative techniques in minimally invasive surgery.
Dr. Isam El-Masri has been running his “Fuss-Praxis Bern” since 2013; today, the practice is located in a wonderful setting right in the heart of Bern’s Old Town. Since then, this experienced specialist in orthopedic surgery and traumatology of the musculoskeletal system has repeatedly attracted attention—not only because of his practice’s state-of-the-art equipment that meets international standards —it is above all his high level of expertise with which he diagnoses and treats all diseases and injuries of the ankle and foot. With a keen eye and unerring analysis, he often succeeds in restoring his patients’ long-lost mobility in the shortest possible time. This is because impairments of the lower extremities, in particular, are often associated with severe discomfort that affects every aspect of daily life—and thus has a massive impact on quality of life.
Leading Medicine Guide: Seal of Excellence for Medical Excellence
The achievements of Dr. Isam El-Masri in his field have long been recognized far beyond the borders of the region surrounding the Swiss capital. His “Fuss-Praxis Bern” is therefore also a sought-after destination for people from abroad. This is also because this highly specialized physician is well-versed in all matters concerning the foot and ankle—from fractures to the most complex corrections of toe deformities, as well as intricate reconstructions of ligaments and tendons. He is just as familiar with nerve problems in the lower extremities as he is with diabetic foot conditions.
The Leading Medicine Guide seal was by no means the first time Dr. El-Masri received it in 2022. This award is thus also a testament to his impressive consistency—and to the fact that this renowned, high-achieving physician remains at the cutting edge of science through his international networks. A multifunctional marvel like the foot—which, with its 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than a hundred tendons and ligaments, can truly be considered a wonder of the body—requires an enormous degree of medical specialization—and the ankle joint is similarly complex. In this respect, patients who turn to Dr. Isam El-Masri’s institution in Bern can count themselves lucky: here, they are in the best hands.
Advantage: Easy to find on the leading online portal
For Dr. El-Masri, receiving the seal of approval offers another clear advantage beyond the honor itself: The award ensures that this specialist will continue to be listed in the Leading Medicine Guide. This makes it easy for people—even beyond the German-speaking world—to find information about the outstanding specialists in their respective fields. Anyone dealing with injuries or conditions affecting the foot or ankle can easily find this specialist and his “Fuss-Praxis Bern” right in the heart of the Old Town.
