Welcome to Upstate Footcare
Hans Blaakman, DPM graduated from Fairfield University in Fairfield, CT with a degree in biology. He then immediately went on to the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine (now the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine.) and graduated in 1992. Upon graduating, he was bestowed with the Stanley David award for outstanding proficiency in the clinical sciences. He continued his medical and surgical training at the Carney Hospital, an affiliate of Boston University, in Boston, Massachusetts. After practicing for over 10 years in Bedford, NH-Dr. Blaakman decided to pack his bags and move to South Carolina in search of sunny, warmer weather and a more temperate climate.
