Redefining Excellence in Podiatric Education
At Dr8020, we believe that great healthcare begins with well-trained, empowered teams. Our mission is to bridge the gap between knowledge and real-world clinical mastery — helping doctors, medical assistants, and virtual staff deliver seamless, compassionate, and efficient podiatric care.
BRIDGING MEDICAL EXPERTISE WITH EVERYDAY WELLNESS.
Mission Statement
I completed my Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) degree and advanced surgical residency training in foot and ankle reconstructive surgery, where I gained hands-on expertise in biomechanics, orthotic therapy, and minimally invasive techniques.
With a deep commitment to patient-centered care, I integrated evidence-based medicine, cutting-edge treatments, and compassionate communication to ensure every patient achieves the best possible outcome. Beyond clinical work, I actively contributed to patient education and professional development through my online resources and podiatry training programs.

Our Story
The Journey Behind Dr8020
Founded by aDr. Tom Biernacki, Dr8020 was born from one simple insight — efficiency and empathy can coexist in medicine.
From years of clinical experience at Balance Foot & Ankle Specialists and other leading practices, we witnessed how small workflow optimizations could dramatically improve patient outcomes and reduce staff burnout.
Our name, Dr8020, embodies the Pareto principle — focusing on the 20% of knowledge, habits, and systems that yield 80% of clinical success.
