  • While going to a doctor’s office may seem nerve wracking right now, it’s important to continue taking care of your overall wellness, including your feet. Healthy feet and ankles are crucial for balance, mobility and a healthy body.
  • If you suspect an issue that warrants a trip to our office, don’t worry—we are taking precautions to keep you safe. We’ve ramped up strict cleaning and sanitation procedures before and after patients, utilizing protective equipment, spacing out appointments to limit crossing of patients, minimizing use of waiting rooms and taking patients directly into exam rooms and pre-screening patients to ensure no one is sick.
  • Remember it is also still important to pay attention to your feet and take steps to keep your feet healthy-especially during this time.
  • Check your feet daily to spot any problems. If you notice any changes, contact our office immediately.






A letter from Dr. Kenneth Jacoby on his retirement after 37 years of service:

12/31/2021

Dr. Kenneth Jacoby

Dear Elgin Foot and Ankle Patients:

This past year, 2021, has been the year that I have transitioned to full retirement.  As Lou Gehrig once said, I am the luckiest man on the face of the earth.  My father told me that if I enjoyed my work, I would never work a day in my life.  I have had the privilege of loving my work while having the deep satisfaction of helping people. 

Elgin Foot and Ankle Center, will continue under very capable hands with my son, Dr. Cory Jacoby, as owner and along with podiatrists Dr. Beata Bialon and Dr. Ridhi Kratzmeyer and Dr. Kevin Alexander, they will continue to provide the excellent service and medical care which has been the hallmark of our practice for close to 100 years. Over those years, our skills and treatment options have continued to evolve and develop as medicine continually changes. We will continue to offer a full range of foot and ankle services including, but not limited to, routine foot care, trauma care of the foot and ankle, diabetic foot care, orthotics, care for all disorders of the foot and ankle, and when appropriate, a full range of surgical options. As foot and ankle surgeons, we are proud to offer some of the most up to date surgical alternatives including  Lapiplasty for Bunion Correction and minimally invasive Achilles Tendon Repair. We continue to offer 24-hour emergency service 365 days a year for all emergencies including wounds and trauma. We will continue to schedule urgent patients expeditiously. We will continue to be available to you and your patients when you need us. Basically, the only thing that will change is that I will no longer be a part of our team.  Our mission, to provide quality medical care in a caring environment will remain the cornerstone of this practice.

I purchased this podiatric medical practice from Dr. Roger Hess in 1984 and then made Elgin my professional and personal home.  This wonderful profession of Podiatry has given me the opportunity not only to treat my patients, but also to develop relationships with many of you.  While part of me is sad and definitely nostalgic, I am looking forward to this next phase of life, which I will gladly share with my wife of 43 years, Gale, and my children, my children-in-law, and my most

adorable-in-the-world grandchildren.  I hope to play lots of baseball and pickle ball, watch my beloved White Sox win another World Series, travel and enjoy hearing about my first baby, my pride and joy, Elgin Foot and Ankle Center.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart and wish you good health! 

With gratitude and respect,

Kenneth E. Jacoby, D.P.M., F.A.C.F.A.S.
