Meet Our Team!

Dr. Lords has been providing podiatric care for over 12 years, helping patients throughout Orange County with a wide range of foot and ankle concerns.

He earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Midwestern University and completed his residency training through Franciscan Alliance/Midwestern University. Through his training and years in practice, Dr. Lords has developed a compassionate, patient-centered approach to foot and ankle care.

At Happy Feet Podiatry, Dr. Lords believes that every patient deserves to feel heard, respected, and involved in their own care. He takes the time to listen, explain each condition clearly, and help patients understand their treatment options.

His approach is caring, thorough, and conservative whenever possible. Before considering surgery, Dr. Lords believes in exhausting appropriate non-surgical treatment options first and creating a plan that fits each patient’s needs.

Happy Feet Podiatry treats all types of foot and ankle concerns, including heel pain, ingrown toenails, fungal nails, bunions, calluses, warts, diabetic foot care, foot injuries, and general foot and ankle pain.

Dr. Lords also understands that many patients wait longer than they should before seeking care. One thing he often hears from patients is,  “I wish I had called earlier.” His advice is simple: if you are in pain, have concerns, or are unsure whether something is normal, it is always better to call sooner and get it checked.

In addition to office visits, Dr. Lords provides care for home health and hospice patients, helping bring podiatric care to patients who may have difficulty traveling to the office.

Outside of work, Dr. Lords enjoys swimming, hiking, riding motorcycles, traveling, going to the beach, surfing, watching movies, and spending time with his kids, family, and friends.

Whether you are dealing with foot pain, a nail or skin concern, or a problem you have been putting off, Dr. Lords and the team at Happy Feet Podiatry are here to provide thoughtful, compassionate care.
