Drs. Jeffrey Jensen and Johanna Richey welcome Dr. Andrew Mastay to Dean’s chat to discuss “all things podiatric medicine and surgery!” Dr. Mastay currently practices as a senior staff physician at Henry Ford Medical group in Detroit Michigan.
Dr. Mastay graduated from the University of Detroit Mercy with a Bachelor’s of science degree in Biochemistry and continued on to Oakland University with graduate coursework in Chemistry prior to earning his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery from Des Moines University. He went on to complete his three-year surgical residency training program with Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Clinton Township Michigan.
Dr. Mastay is board certified in both forefoot and rearfoot reconstructive surgery through the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. He is a diplomat of the American Board of Wound Management. Join us, as he discusses how curve balls and mentorship helped shape his introduction to podiatry. He discusses the importance of showing up with excellence and focusing on fostering relationships. He describes how leaning into the work that brings us the most satisfaction is the key to success and how working in multidisciplinary teams, and the strengths that each physician can bring to help improve patient outcomes where pivotal for him. Listen and he describes his unique surgical practice, including his focus on orthoplastics and limb salvage while having the opportunity to foster long lasting and impactful relationships with his patients.
Dr. Mastay is a leader in the profession, currently serving as the president of the Michigan Podiatric Medical Association. Tune in as we discuss his leadership experience working in multiple committees and boards within the Michigan Podiatric Medical Association, including the prior chairman of the young physicians committee, licensing and regulation board house of delegates elections committee, the insurance committee, strategic planning committee, legislative committee, and physician parity committee. His insights into why podiatric medicine is such a unique field of medical expertise is phenomenal.
Dr. Mastay also is a current faculty member in the Henry Ford hospital system, teaching students and residents the skills needed to become proficient podiatric surgeons. He won the Teaching faculty of the year award in 2022-2023 and it is no surprise to us that he is an incredible faculty member and mentor to his residents.
