He has pioneered several surgical techniques (such as the endoscopic Gastrocnemius recession and other Achilles procedures), classifications and instruments (including a bone grafting retractor, an arthroscopic drill guide and various locking plates). Dr. Saxena has been awarded Alumnus of the Year and Honor Medal from Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine during their centennial anniversary (2012). He is a lifetime honorary member of the German Society for Foot and Ankle Surgery (www.gffc.de) and inducted into the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons FFPM RCPS (Glasgow).

Dr. Saxena received an MPH (June 2023- 3.84 GPA) from Dartmouth College’s TDI Hybrid Program. His thesis covered the current state of US medical education and how to re-design it to reduce student debt and health care disparities along with increasing primary care. His smaller projects included addressing national medical license portability and supporting local medical students to improve primary care in impoverished areas.
