As a Podiatrist specializing in Podiatry and Foot & Ankle Surgery, Dr. Kazdan was affiliated with Henry Ford Health and Ascension Providence Hospital and was a trusted name in foot and ankle care across Southeast Michigan. His practice locations at 22250 Providence Dr. Suite 100 in Southfield and in Ortonville served patients from Detroit, Farmington Hills, Berkley, and beyond.
A Doctor Who Truly Cared

He was the kind of doctor who listened. Who took the time. Who treated not just the condition, but the person. For many in the Detroit metro area, he was more than a podiatrist — he was their go-to doctor, a steady and reassuring presence during painful and difficult times.
Colleagues remember him as a dedicated professional, a skilled surgeon, and a kind member of the medical community who was committed to excellence and to his patients’ well-being.
A Legacy of Service
Dr. Kazdan’s work touched thousands of lives. From routine foot care to complex foot and ankle surgery, he helped patients walk, run, and live without pain. His commitment to accepting and caring for all patients, including Medicare patients, reflected his belief that quality care should be accessible.
His loss leaves a significant void in the Michigan podiatry community and in the hearts of the families he served.
At this time, details regarding funeral arrangements and memorial services for Dr. Joshua Kazdan have not yet been publicly released by the family. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this profound loss.
He will be deeply missed by his patients, colleagues, friends, and the entire Detroit-area community he so faithfully served.
