Dr. William Duke

I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri and grew up a Cardinal baseball fan my entire life. I developed a passion for medicine at an early age watching my grandmother deal with the devastating effects of diabetes and also having to deal with my own injuries while playing sports. Some of these injuries required surgical care and thankfully the doctors caring for me did an exceptional job and further sparked my interest in becoming a physician.I attended Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois where I received my undergraduate degree in biological sciences and a minor in chemistry. I was fortunate enough to play college football while at Quincy University and I also met my wife, Amy. Amy is a native of Jefferson City and attended Helias High School.After a year of marriage Amy and I moved to Chicago, Illinois where I attended the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at the Chicago Medical School. After 4 years of medical school I completed 3 years of residency at Mt. …Sinai Hospital Medical Center in Chicago. During my final year of residency I served as Chief Resident.While in residency at Mt. Sinai hospital, a level one-trauma center, I received extensive training in foot and ankle trauma including fractures and dislocations. I also developed a deeper understanding and the necessary surgical skills to help patients suffering from congenital and acquired deformities (e.g. bunions, hammertoes, clubfoot) of the foot and ankle for people of all ages, from childbirth through adulthood.
