A Commitment to Excellence in Podiatric Care

Dr. Forni brings decades of experience and an extraordinary level of board certification to every patient he sees — delivering expert, compassionate care to the Chicago metropolitan community.

Double Board Certification: Dr. Forni has earned dual certification from both the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS) and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM) — a distinction achieved by fewer than 5% of practicing podiatrists in the United States.

Our Philosophy of Care

Our goals at AFP Podiatry, LTD are to provide the highest quality ankle and foot care utilizing the latest treatment protocols, and to offer a pain-free, satisfying, and friendly experience. We provide family-oriented podiatric care to all age groups from children through senior adults. From the beginning of life to the end of life, we make sure that all of your needs are addressed.

Dr. Forni is deeply committed to staying current with advances in podiatric medicine and surgery — including specialized techniques like "The Bunion Slide" (a minimal incision, triplane 3D correction) and Lapiplasty (3D triplane Lapidus bunion correction).
