Committed to Cleveland.
Elevating Patient Care.
Our Story
Elevate Foot & Ankle, formerly known as Neal A. Marks, DPM, Inc., has been serving both the east and west sides of Cleveland for over 25 years. While our name has changed, our commitment to providing top-quality podiatric care has not. In fact, under the new ownership of David Kretch, DPM our goal is not only to continue but to elevate the personal, medical, and surgical care of our patients to a new level. We utilize the most innovative and cutting edge technologies available to date.


Introducing: Dr. David Kretch
Dr. Kretch began his podiatric journey years ago while working as a medical assistant at this very practice. He continued to intern at the office while studying podiatric medicine at Kent State University. He then moved to Chicago to further his education and completed a surgical residency at Rush University Medical Center. He then gained valuable experience working in private practice in the Chicago area and in a teaching faculty role at Swedish Covenant Hospital. However, it was his ultimate desire to bring his knowledge and skills back to Cleveland that led him home to serve the community he loves.
Committed to Podiatric Excellence
Elevate Foot & Ankle has become a center of excellence and is leading the way in advancing the field of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Kretch and his team’s aim is to elevate the standard of care with a patient-centered atmosphere to create a personalized treatment plan that is catered to your needs. We utilize the most modern technologies including digital x-ray, amniotic injection therapy, shockwave therapy, laser treatment for pain, and reconstructive surgery.
