Brett Dupont, DPM

Originally from the New England area, Dr. Brett Dupont is a highly trained and naturally skilled podiatrist who takes great pride in solving his patients’ foot and ankle concerns. 

After graduating with honors and earning his Bachelor’s degree from Upstate Medical University’s College of Health Professions, Dr. Dupont began his career in healthcare as a respiratory therapist at a Level I Trauma Center in Syracuse, NY. He developed the ability to remain calm under pressure while participating in life-saving resuscitation efforts (“code” responses), and gained experience treating patients from the ER to the ICU, working evening shifts. During the day, he continued his education by completing medical school prerequisite courses at SUNY Oswego, furthering his lifelong goal of becoming a physician. 

During this time, Dr. Dupont took the Mensa qualification exam, which recognizes individuals scoring in the top 2% worldwide based on IQ. He was subsequently inducted into Mensa, the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world. 

He continued working part-time as a respiratory therapist while pursuing his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. Upon graduation in 2013, he entered a three-year podiatric residency at Roxborough Memorial Hospital in Philadelphia, where he received extensive training in wound care, diabetic limb salvage, and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. At his residency graduation ceremony, he was recognized by his program director for his exceptional surgical skill.  

After several years of practicing in Maryland, Dr. Dupont relocated to the West Coast to fulfill his long-standing goal of moving to California. He arrived in the Bay Area in the spring of 2019 and was immediately in awe of the natural beauty of Northern California and the kindness of the local community. In early 2020, while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, he assumed ownership of Golden Gate Foot and Ankle and expanded its presence from Sonoma to a second location serving the South Berkeley and North Oakland communities.  

With over 20 years of healthcare experience, Dr. Dupont combines clinical expertise with a patient-centered approach, helping individuals feel at ease while delivering the highest quality of care. His practice is committed to minimizing wait times, maintaining affordability, and providing effective solutions for a wide range of foot and ankle problems.

Ann Shrum

I've been a patient of Dr. Dupont's since he began his practice here in Sonoma at Golden Gate Foot & Ankle on 1st St W. I had bunion surgery on my left foot and it went beautifully. He is professional, pleasant, and very responsive to discuss any concerns with my feet and ankles. His office personnel are so good at working with you on your appointments (which I've needed to get in sooner a couple of times), and treat their patients with great respect. They are always pleasant, and the office is open and welcoming. I highly recommend his practice and have to several friends that are now his patients.

Lynnette Bourne

Dr. Dupont was very helpful with my recent foot pain due to a probable neuroma. I went in to the office having a lot of difficulty walking because of the foot pain and left pain free after treatment. He was good at explaining why I had the condition, options and treatment. He is professional and friendly.

Tanya Marsh

I walked into his office fighting back tears because my feet were hurting me so terribly, every step had become an effort. By the time I left his office 30 minutes later, the pain that had bothered me for years had been resolved and has not returned. Within minutes of looking at the issues with my feet, Dr. Dupont accurately diagnosed, treated and bandaged the painful spots that I had been dealing with. My primary care Dr had treated me, but without any success and my dermatologist completely misdiagnosed, offering no support. This left me extremely discouraged and I struggled for many months before discovering Dr. Dupont.
