A Philosophy Built Through Experience
Meet Jengyu Lai, DPM
Founder, Rochester Clinic
For more than 28 years, Dr. Jengyu Lai's work in foot and ankle medicine, biomechanics, wound care, rehabilitation, research, and Lifestyle Medicine has reinforced one fundamental belief:
You can't fully understand one part of the body without considering the whole person.
As founder of Rochester Clinic, Dr. Lai built the practice around this philosophy, looking beyond where it hurts to understand the factors that may be contributing to pain, impaired function, delayed healing, or recurring problems. His approach combines clinical expertise with curiosity: listening carefully, asking why, considering the whole person, and partnering with patients to develop practical strategies for better health.
Reviews
What Our Patients Say
I called every office in Rochester and everyone said I'd have to wait a few days. Rochester Clinic squeezed me in the same day and was so pleasant and compassionate. The doctor explained not only the reason for my issue but recommended shoes, home therapy, and diet changes to promote healing.
My PCP across town said I had a callus, but Rochester Clinic took out a sliver from the bottom of my foot. Sometimes even something very small can cause a lot of discomfort!
I saw Dr. Lai because I thought I broke my right foot. An initial examination showed my right leg is longer than my left leg. I've never known this. Truly appreciated the great quality service and advice.
Dr. Lai and his staff are great to work with. Easily accessible location with ample parking. It's great not feeling like a number when dealing with healthcare in Rochester.
I believe in the lifestyle medicine they are doing, and it's very holistic. They show they care and work to get to the root issues of my health concerns. Thank you!
