Lei Wilson, DPM

Originally from the Philippines and raised in Toronto, Dr. Wilson moved to Fort Wayne when she was 13 and has called it home ever since. Inspired by a family dedicated to caring for others, she pursued a career in medicine with a passion for service and patient care. Her journey into podiatric medicine began while working as a medical scribe during graduate school. After shadowing several podiatrists, she found a specialty that combined everything she loved: working with her hands, solving challenging medical problems, and building meaningful relationships with patients.

Dr. Wilson specializes in foot and ankle care, with particular expertise in wound care and limb salvage. She finds great fulfillment in helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to the activities that matter most to them. Her philosophy is simple: listen first, educate clearly, and work together. She wants every patient to feel heard, informed, and confident in their treatment plan.

Outside the clinic, she's a self-proclaimed fantasy novel nerd who loves The Lord of the Rings, medieval history, basketball, hockey, concerts, and spending time with her husband and their two Boston terriers.
