About Dr. Sheldon

A career devoted to keeping you moving.

Dr. David P. Sheldon earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree and completed rigorous surgical residency training before earning fellowship recognition from the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons — a distinction held by only a fraction of podiatric physicians nationwide.

Based in Traverse City since the early 1990s, Dr. Sheldon has become a trusted presence in the Northwoods community, treating everything from common heel pain and bunions to complex reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. His practice blends advanced surgical technique with a calm, unhurried approach that puts patients at ease.

Whether you're managing diabetes-related foot concerns, recovering from a sports injury, or seeking relief from chronic foot pain, Dr. Sheldon provides care that is as thorough as it is compassionate — because every step matters.
