Raised in Houston, Texas, Dr. Correa attended Friendswood High School and graduated in 2003. He then went on to attend the University of North Texas, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2007 with a major in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Spanish. After college, Dr. Correa moved to North Chicago, Illinois, where he attended William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in 2008. Here, Dr. Correa began years of rigorous medical training designed to create a "patient first" treatment approach. During his time there, he served on the Honor Council and graduated with honors in 2012.
Dr. Correa returned home to Houston for a three-year residency at West Houston Medical Center, where he received training in Foot and Reconstructive Rearfoot and Ankle (RRA) surgery from 2012-2015. While in residency, Dr. Correa received training from some of the brightest podiatrists in Texas. During his time at West Houston, Dr. Correa served as the anatomy lab coordinator and as Chief resident in his final year. Since graduation, Dr. Correa has sat for and passed his board certification exams, granting him the status of Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Dr. Correa is also a proud member of the American Podiatric Medical Association.
Immediately following residency, he started his practice with Brazos Valley Foot Care in August 2015, where he served the communities of Brenham, College Station, Bryan, Bellville, Columbus, Giddings, and La Grange, TX (Yes, all at the same time). Dr. Correa enjoyed immersing himself in and serving these communities. He moved back to Houston in 2019 when his wife, Jasia, accepted a position at Texas Children’s Hospital as a Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Specialist and eventually founded her own practice, Well Women Physical Therapy. Shortly after settling into Cypress, Dr. Correa founded Select Foot and Ankle Specialists, P.L.L.C., and is pleased to now be serving the greater Cypress, Spring, Tomball, and northern Katy area.
Dr. Correa is married to his wife, Jasia, and is the father of their three children, Chloe, Anastasia, and Mariela. The rest of his family still resides in the greater Houston area. When Dr. Correa is not busy taking care of patients, he enjoys playing golf, shooting sports, playing drums, woodworking, and spending time with his family in his spare time.
