Founding
Founded by Dr. Robert Brace and Dr. Walter Neller, establishing one of the longest-running podiatry practices in the Rio Grande Valley.
A Legacy of Care, Two Generations Deep.
For nearly five decades, Foot Center has been a cornerstone of podiatric care in the Rio Grande Valley — guided by the same values of compassion, clinical excellence, and community service.
What is the CO2 LightScalpel Laser?
The LightScalpel CO2 laser is an advanced surgical instrument that uses a focused beam of infrared light to precisely cut, ablate, and vaporise tissue. Unlike traditional surgical tools, the laser provides an unparalleled level of precision — targeting only the affected tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy structures.
In podiatric medicine, CO2 laser technology has revolutionised the treatment of ingrown toenails, plantar warts, nail fungus, skin tags, and chronic wound debridement. Dr. Quach has invested in this technology to provide patients throughout the Rio Grande Valley with treatment options previously available only at major medical centres.
The laser’s ability to simultaneously cut and cauterise means less bleeding during procedures, a sterile treatment field, and significantly faster healing times. For patients, this translates to less discomfort, fewer follow-up visits, and better long-term outcomes.

Podiatric Surgeon
Doctor of Podiatric Medicine - Barry University, FL
Born in Vietnam and raised in Sweden, Dr. Quach brings a unique international perspective — and genuine warmth — to every patient encounter. He is fluent in Swedish and English, and speaks Vietnamese, Chinese, French, and is currently learning Spanish.
My passion for podiatric medicine began when I served as a field nurse in the Swedish Army. A knee injury I sustained while playing professional soccer in my youth taught me firsthand what it means to lose mobility—and how much it matters to get it back. That experience drives everything I do today.
I earned my Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Barry University in Florida and completed residencies at Cedars Medical Center and East Jefferson General Hospital in Louisiana. In 2005, I joined Foot Center as a foot specialist and surgeon, and I’ve been privileged to serve this community ever since.
Over the past 21+ years, I’ve diagnosed and treated neighbors in McAllen, Weslaco, and surrounding communities—addressing everything from minor infections to complex cases requiring limb salvage. McAllen has become my home. The Rio Grande Valley is my community. I married here, and my daughter was born in Weslaco. This is where my life is.
I wasn’t born in the United States, and I’m not of Hispanic heritage—but I profoundly identify with the Hispanic community that has embraced me and my family. My patients, my dedicated staff, and the people of this Valley are the reasons I love what I do. Every day, I’m grateful to serve you.
