History

Established in 1991.

In 1991, Dr. Schultheiss started his practice in Bel Air and was blessed with rapid growth and quickly rose from 35 patients a week to 35 patients a day! As the diversity of cases grew so did the quest for advanced education and services. Dr. Schultheiss was determined to bring the specialists needed for complex cases right here to the community. Having been teamed with Maryland Vascular Associates for many years, a full service vascular laboratory was built to provide rapid and even same day vascular testing. This team approach continues to flourish and early intervention of vascular complications has been crucial in preventing amputations. In 2009, Harford Lower Extremity Specialists became the first Podiatric specific Ambulatory Surgical Center in Maryland to achieve the gold seal of approval with accreditation by the Joint Commission. This accreditation brought an even higher standard for patient safety and infection control.

After years of hard work and dedication, Dr. Schultheis
