Meet Dr. Jay C. Larson
Board-Certified Podiatrist | Foot & Ankle Surgeon | Compassionate Care Provider
At Sole Foot & Ankle Specialists, Dr. Jay C. Larson is known not only for his exceptional medical expertise, but for the genuine care he shows every patient he meets. Board-certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, Dr. Larson brings advanced training, surgical skill, and over a decade of experience to every step of your treatment.
But what truly sets him apart is his patient-first philosophy:
“Treat others the way you would want to be treated.”
Originally from Logan, Utah, Dr. Larson’s path to medicine began with a strong foundation in service, education, and hands-on healthcare. After serving a two-year mission in Thailand, he earned a degree in Public Health Education from Utah State University. He went on to work as a Health Education Specialist, helping patients manage chronic conditions like diabetes, and as an Anesthesia Technician in the operating room—experiences that deeply shaped his belief in educating and empowering patients for better long-term outcomes.
In 2004, he moved to Arizona with his young family to join the first-ever podiatry class at Midwestern University in Glendale. After graduating in 2008, he completed a rigorous three-year surgical residency at Genesys Regional Medical Center in Michigan, where he was elected Chief Resident and served on several hospital leadership committees.
Since 2011, Dr. Larson has been a trusted physician at Sole Foot & Ankle Specialists. Patients love his warm, approachable nature, his ability to explain complex conditions in simple terms, and his commitment to providing treatment options that fit their individual needs and lifestyles.

Outside the Office

He enjoys mountain biking, skiing, hiking, reading, and photography. In fact, many of his landscape photos are proudly displayed in our office. He also volunteers as a leader in his church and serves as head coach of a high school mountain bike team.
Whether you’re dealing with a chronic condition or a sudden injury, you can trust Dr. Larson to treat you with compassion, skill, and the same respect he would give his own family.
