Dr. Sheldon Fleishman earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at Temple University majoring in Biology in 1968. He began his medical education at the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine in 1968 and graduated in 1972 with honors in the Stirling Harford Honorary Anatomical Society, as well as, Pi Delta National Podiatry Honor Society - an honor given only to those students with a grade point average greater than 90 for all four years of medical education. 

Dr. Fleishman's surgical residency began at the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, within the Cleveland Foot Clinic and many area hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio. A portion of his surgical residency was performed at the VA Hospital in Leavenworth Kansas as well as Fort Munson Army Hospital. It was the time he spent at these hospitals which encouraged him to practice in the Midwest. 

Dr. Fleishman has served for 10 years as the physician liaison for his specialty to Medicare for the Midwest region. During his professional career he has been involved in training podiatric students and surgical residents. Dr. Fleishman attends scientific meetings annually in all areas of medicine and surgery to provide the most advanced medical treatments to his patients. 

In 2003, the doctor became an associate in the American Professional Wound Care Association to provide highly technical treatments to a most difficult group of patient with diabetic ulcerations. 

Dr. Fleishman is certified as a Diplomate in the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery; a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons; an Associate American Professional Wound Care Association; and a past president of the Kansas City Podiatry Association. 

In his spare time Dr. Fleishman enjoys playing golf and spending time with his grandson.
