Podiatrist Serving Damascus & Boyds, MD
Out in the rural upcounty, Dr. Gary Feldman, DPM, FACFAS is the reachable option — Damascus runs down Ridge Road to the Germantown office, and Boyds sits an easy hop west of it.
Damascus is Friday-night-lights country. Ridge Road threads through a town that takes its high-school sports seriously — Damascus football is one of the most storied programs in Maryland — and the surrounding upcounty stays working and outdoors: farms, big yards, trail time, and weekend athletes of every age. Dr. Feldman has served as a high-school football team physician, and that sideline experience is exactly the right background for the injuries this part of the county produces.
To the west, Boyds is quieter and more rural still — Black Hill Regional Park, Little Seneca Lake, and the MARC stop anchor a spread-out community where a trip to the Germantown office is the short version of getting to a specialist. Across both, the calls skew toward the acute: the ankle turned on an uneven field, the fracture from a hard tackle or a fall on the farm, the heel that won’t quit after two-a-days.
