About Kenneth L. Cornell, DPM, FACFAS

  • Dr. Cornell enjoys spending time with his wife and two boys. His many activities include listening to music, playing acoustic guitar, traveling, fishing, golf, and he’s an "avid Texas Rangers baseball fan!"

I enjoy all aspects of evaluating and treating foot and ankle pathology. I try to work with my patients to formulate treatment modalities which allow them to return to a functional and active lifestyle.

    Both Dr Cornell and his nurse are very professional as well as compassionate. Offering the gift of time to patients is often difficult for the medical community to do. Both of these professionals provided me the time needed to answer all questions as well as offer detailed information on what to expect. In addition both added to this evaluation by asking questions about me and my life. Very impressed with their insight and concern over my wellbeing. Dr. Cornell is very kind, extremely patient and dedicated to the health of his patients. Thank you for providing me with excellent care.
