Practicing at Our Bradenton and Ellenton, Florida Locations

Dr. Adena Mahadai, DPM

Dr. Adena Mahadai joined Cortez Foot and Ankle, practicing at their Bradenton, Sarasota, and Ellenton, Florida locations.


Originally from Clermont, FL, Dr. Mahadai earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Florida and received her medical degree from Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine. She completed her podiatric residency at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where she gained extensive training in both conservative care and surgical intervention.


Dr. Mahadai was Podiatric Board Qualified and an active member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM).


She chose the field of podiatry because it allowed her to help patients regain mobility and independence—something she found incredibly rewarding. She loved building long-term relationships with her patients and helping them stay active and pain-free. She especially enjoyed the variety the field offered, from treating sports injuries to performing surgery, which made every day interesting and meaningful.


Dr. Mahadai, who lived in Lakewood Ranch, FL, enjoyed spending her free time with family and friends, going to the beach, trying new restaurants, and shopping.
