Christopher S. Jetter, DPM

Dr. Christopher Jetter grew up in Greenville, OH, and while it may have not been the most glamorous place to grow up, he’s quite fond of the country lifestyle, and enjoys reminiscing about bonfires, football, and the much more affordable produce found in the Midwest. Dr. Jetter attended Taylor University, a small Christian liberal arts school in Northern Indiana, graduating cum laude with a degree in Exercise Science, and a minor in Biology. Combining his degree with athletics in college, he developed a deep appreciation for sports/exercise and their associated injuries. He met his wife, Hannah, who grew up in Glennallen, Alaska, while in class at Taylor University. He then attended Podiatric Medical School at The Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, graduating Magna Cum Laude, in 2012. After graduation, Dr. Jetter began residency at St. Mary’s Medical Center, in Evansville, IN. Evansville afforded amazing opportunities to develop clinical and surgical skills, and there he was intimately involved in podiatric, vascular, and orthopedic surgeries. While southern Indiana was not be his family’s ideal place to live, the experiences gained were invaluable assets to his practice. Dr. Jetter then pursued further surgical training, completing a fellowship in Foot and Ankle Surgery in Louisville, KY. He was afforded opportunities to hone his skills under world class surgeons, and developed further surgical assets in adult and pediatric reconstruction. Dr. Jetter is well-versed in general podiatric medicine and surgery, foot and ankle trauma, sports medicine, total ankle replacement, charcot reconstruction, and application/use of external fixation devices. Fellowship afforded him the opportunity to further develop these skills, and has added the unique subset of revision foot and ankle surgery. Dr. Jetter is very excited to join Alaska Foot and Ankle Specialists, and his wife is more than ecstatic to be back home. They currently have three young boys, with a fourth boy on the way. They can be found hiking, backpacking, climbing, mountain biking, or running all over Alaska.
