Mitch Williams and Dr . Joshua Worley , to more efficiently serve patients .

He has a love for his senior patients but also wants to reach younger generations and educate them on these platforms about prevention and medical procedures available . Dr . Mobarak ’ s extensive knowledge of podiatry and hands-on experience working with patients makes him one of the best at treating pediatric , senior , and sports injuries , which shines through in social media .
Led by Dr . Mobarak , the skilled team at Southwest Foot & Ankle Center cares for patients with foot and ankle problems using a wide array of state-of-the-art tools and techniques — from conservative physical therapy and injection therapy — to advanced surgical intervention .

I want to accomplish and work toward continuing this in the years to come ,” he says . “ I also do this in my personal life ; accomplishing my goals and finishing something I didn ’ t think I could do helps me push through any obstacles .”
The medical field is not the only arena in which Dr . Mobarak excels . He approaches fitness with the same dedication and vigor he applies to medicine . Waking up at 5 a . m . to work out in his garage , which he converted to a home gym , Dr . Mobarak never waivers from the goal at hand — exceeding his personal best .
