Southwest Foot & Ankle is a two-podiatrist St. George practice — David T. Magnesen, DPM, and Quinten Rowley, DPM, FACFAS — with approximately fifty years of combined experience and a primary office on South Bluff Street. The practice serves Southern Utah from the Bluff Street location and runs affiliated clinic days at rural Nevada satellites.
Why two-podiatrist scale fits a different need
Foot & Ankle Institute is the dominant nine-DPM group in Southern Utah, and Southwest Foot & Ankle is the small two-DPM alternative. The two structures serve different patient preferences. A patient who values continuity with a named principal — same doctor each visit, no rotation across a panel of providers, direct access to whichever DPM they originally established with — gets that at Southwest. The smaller practice is not a thinner version of the larger group; it is a different operating model.
The FACFAS credential
Rowley’s FACFAS designation — Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons — is a credential-tier signal indicating advanced surgical training above the baseline DPM. It is the kind of credential that typically routes harder surgical cases to the practice rather than the practice routing them out. For complex foot-and-ankle reconstructive work, the FACFAS designation matters.
Rural Nevada satellite affiliation
Disclosure
Web presence is reasonable, both DPMs are publicly named with credentials, and Utah DOPL verification is straightforward.
Where this lands
A two-podiatrist Bluff Street practice with deep combined experience, an FACFAS-credentialed surgical-side specialist, and rural Nevada satellite clinical days — a useful smaller alternative to the dominant Foot & Ankle Institute group, for the patients who specifically want a smaller-practice fit.
