A West Seattle Clinic You Can Count On

West Seattle Foot & Ankle Clinic has been independently owned and operated since 1979 — a true neighborhood practice rooted in the community we serve.

Our providers, Dr. Matthew LaBella and Dr. Ryan Schwanke, are board-certified podiatric surgeons on staff at Swedish Medical Center and St. Anne Hospital. They're supported by a dedicated team that's been with us for years.

We take time. We listen carefully. And we believe every patient deserves a clear explanation of their condition and a treatment plan they feel confident about.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. LaBella patiently listened to my concerns and then quickly and efficiently diagnosed my foot problem. I left with clear instructions on what to do and how to stay out of pain. He also showed me several options to make my shoes work better for me. I highly recommend this practice. Thank you!
