Harvinder Saggi, DPM
Dr. Harvinder Saggi, DPM, is a foot and ankle surgeon in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, serving the greater Milwaukee area. He helps patients return to active, pain-free lives through advanced, personalized foot & ankle care — combining evidence-based medicine with modern surgical technique and a genuine physician-patient relationship.
Clinical philosophy
Evidence-based medicine meets modern technology.
Treatment ranges from conservative care and rehabilitation to minimally invasive procedures and complex reconstruction. When surgery is the right call, the focus is on restoring function, correcting the underlying problem, and building a recovery plan that gets patients back to what matters to them. Not every condition needs surgery — every case starts with a full picture and an honest conversation about the options.
