Dr. Banks was born in Waynesville and grew up in Haywood County . He returned to western North Carolina to share his expertise in foot and ankle medicine and surgery. His dream was to grow a practice that would serve an area of the country that had never experienced specialized foot and ankle medicine. In addition to the broad training obtained in Chicago and Baltimore, Dr. Banks has also pursued education in wound care and pedorthics (prescribing and fabrication of inserts, special shoes and braces). This additional training insures that the Smoky Mountain Foot Clinic can provide comprehensive care for all foot and ankle problems.
