My Approach to Care

I enjoy working with patients of all ages to treat their foot and ankle. An important aspect of this is explaining all the options for care and treatment, and helping the patient choose a treatment plan that fits their needs.

Areas of expertise include:

  • Foot and ankle surgery, including reconstruction
  • Treating conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, heel spurs, tendon repairs and skin conditions
  • Treating damage caused by chronic conditions such as diabetes, trauma, arthritis and congenital malformations

Dr. Tennity has been serving Lincoln for nearly 28 years.

October 23, 2024
I like working with Dr. Tennity and his staff, Liz in particular. They care and are so efficient!
October 23, 2024
I have seen Dr. Tennity for over 15 years. He has been very helpful with my foot issues.
October 22, 2024
Dr Tennity is awesome. He did an awesome job on my surgery back in 2020. I've recommended him to many of my friends. The office staff and nurses were outstanding as well.
October 22, 2024
The provider was great, however he didn't state that I was free to leave the exam room once he was done and had left the room. I waited for a while before I opened the door and asked a nurse if I was free to go.
October 17, 2024
I appreciated the positive attitude and interest shown in me by the doctor and other staff members.
October 15, 2024
excellent care
October 15, 2024
I've always had excellent care here.
September 18, 2024
I appreciated any question I had has always been answered. I appreciate that I can walk after foot surgery. I appreciate the kind and friendly professional manner in which way I've been treated.
September 17, 2024
My experience was great!!!! Everyone was so nice. I'd recommend this place to everyone.
September 11, 2024
All of the staff members are friendly, helpful and highly skilled professionals.
September 10, 2024
I've been a patient and friend with Dr. John Tennity for approximately 10 years since my paralysis. Not only he, but his nurse and the secretarial staff are always in a positive mood and I feel very personal with the nurse. And then Dr. Tennity puts me at ease and does a wonderful job with my, I call it a pedicure. I enjoy coming to Capitol Foot and Ankle.
September 10, 2024
Dr. Tennity is the best. He always takes so much time to listen to you and help you. I just think he's the greatest doctor ever. Thank you,
September 10, 2024
I had a 7:00 am appointment and arrived shortly before 7:00 am. The office was still closed. Once it opened I had to wait to be checked in. After being checked in I had to wait again before being taken to an examining room. Appointments should not be scheduled for 7:00 am given that the office opens at 7:00.
August 15, 2024
Dr. Tennity and the team at Capital Foot and Ankle were prompt, thorough and I formative about my condition. It was so easy to get an appointment, too.
August 14, 2024
Dr Tennity knows his medical feild
August 14, 2024
I had never been to the office so therefore didn't know personnel. Dr. Tennity completed my exam on my feet and said two names that would schedule my casting. He left and closed the door. I thought I was to stay after putting my shoes on and waited for a nurse to come in to either get me or schedule my appointment like my GP, Bryan Group, does. I waited for at least 10-12 minutes when a Nurse came in and was startled to see me. I guess I was to show myself out and find who was to schedule my appt. Again I was new to this office and didn't go around checking name tags to know who the 2 names were that he mentioned. Just odd.
August 13, 2024
Dr. Tennity is a great doctor and he is very personable yet professional, very kind and took time to talk to me. And his nurse was very kind as well. I would highly recommend him.
August 13, 2024
I found it strange that my appointment was at 7:00 but the office doesn't open until almost 7:00. The receptionists were there, and it was awkward waiting in the hallway.
August 12, 2024
I was a little frustrated that I had a 7 a.m. appointment but the doors don't unlock until 7 o'clock. In my mind that I was late. So I think the appointment should have been at 7:10 or 7:15 if you don't open the doors until 7. There were actually two of us waiting and felt the same way.
August 12, 2024
Very good experience. Explained everything to me perfectly. And I recommended all my friends to him. And I will go to him forever. Thank you.
August 08, 2024
Good experience overall. Thanks.
August 07, 2024
Dr. Kennedy is the best podiatrist I have ever had. I've been with him since the early 90s. I love his bedside manner and his work, and I thank him.
July 18, 2024
I thought Dr. Kennedy was just very attentive to all my needs. I have seen him before. He did foot surgery for me and did an excellent job. And so I actually can't think of anything I think they should do better. I really appreciated, let's see, what's her name, his medical assistant, Liz. She was very helpful too. So my husband went with me. We both had an excellent experience.
July 17, 2024
Dr Tennity and the staff saw me in a timely and friendly manner with efficient treatment to address my sore toe issue.
July 17, 2024
Dr Tennity is the nicest, kindest doctor I have ever met. Explains and listens to your concern. I have already recommended him to a friend who is looking for a foot doctor.
July 16, 2024
Yeah, my experience was great and I'm calling back and all I really wanted to do was make another appointment. And I was hoping that maybe after I got done answering 25 questions, I could do that. But anyway, maybe somebody could give me a call and send me a link or something and I'll make an appointment. Bye.
July 16, 2024
Excellent clinic!
July 16, 2024
Dr Tennity was though and responded to all questions.

June 04, 2024

I appreciate how my daughter and I are treated with compassion and respect. I look forward to Dr. Tennity's sense of humour.
March 28, 2024
I made a mistake on the first one. I thought it was the top, but it wasn't. So the first one was, I did that incorrectly, but everything else is right.
March 27, 2024
Dr. Tennity and his office are all fantastic with the care they provide. This was my first visit there and l will not go anywhere else for foot issues. Thank you !!!
March 26, 2024
John Tennity is a great podiatrist he listens to what you have to say. He explains throughly what he can do ti help with your pain and treatment
March 21, 2024
Very professional
March 20, 2024
The Doctors and assistants are wonderful, but they do not return calls when you have questions about finances or policies for medicare. or if your shoe order has arrived for pick up. I had to stand in line to make a follow up appointment. That you for letting me give my input.
March 13, 2024
I had the doctor, Kennedy, I can't pronounce his name perhaps right, he did a very nice job of explaining and checking out everything and getting me to see another doctor in their firm, and I don't remember exactly why, but I did all that within the time of my appointment and I left happy that he put everything together. I'm now in a boot until the surgery and I'd recommend him, I surely would. And that's all I need to tell you, I think.
March 12, 2024
The nurses, front staff and special assistant for foot pad inserts were friendly and excellent professionals!

February 21, 2024
Good staff and great Doctor!!!
February 15, 2024
My appointment with Dr. Kennedy was perfect. I didn't like what he had to tell me, but I know he had to tell me the truth. But it is what it is with my toes. So anyway, but no, he's an excellent doctor. He knows what he's doing, and he's a pleasure to talk to. Thank you.
February 15, 2024
I received excellent diagnosis of what is causing my heel pain. Dr. Tennity is personable, professional, and excellent. I was able to ask questions and didn't feel rushed. He cares deeply about his patients. Terry casted my foot in preparation for orthotics. He was very helpful and made sure I had a handout of stretches to do to help with my foot diagnosis. Highly recommend both.
February 13, 2024
The front staff was very friendly period. Dr. Kennedy is the best!
February 07, 2024
Dr. Tennity is delightful. He should teach other physicians about interactions with patients.
February 07, 2024
Both the doctor and his staff were extremely friendly and comforting. Very happy I made this appointment because I have been suffering and I now see a plan of attack that makes sense for me.
January 30, 2024
I was asked to sign a lot of things and I don't know what they were for.
January 30, 2024
My doctor was so amazing. He made me feel comfortible from the start. He really cared and he and i camw up with a more non traditional way to treat my foot because of past trauma, infection and medication side effects aniexty. And so far its working already!! He is soooo sooo nice!
January 25, 2024
Thanks!
January 25, 2024
Dr. Tennity and his nurse were amazing. They were kind, social, caring, and fun. I feel like I know more about this man than I do the doctors in my home town ie known for years. He listened to our needs, took care of the issues with grace and ease, and did a fabulous job. Even my 17 year old son said that's where we will go back to! He's off to school today and not really in any pain. Thank you for the great service! I have already started to recommend you to others!! ?
January 24, 2024

December 12, 2023
Dr. Tennity is always a joy to see. He's kind, caring, and always listens to what's going on with my feet and ankles.
December 07, 2023
What I really appreciated was I came for one thing and they were able to work me in on some other things that I would have had to come back for. So I really appreciate that. So I think a lot of the people that you have there and they do a great job. The only thing that I think is difficult is when you call in, it's hard to get a hold of anybody. But other than that, I think you guys do a great job. Thanks so much. Bye-bye.
December 07, 2023
Dr. Tennity has a wonderful personality, is very knowledgeable, gentle and kind. This surgery was a very positive experience. Thank you to him and his assistant Liz! They make an excellent team!!
December 06, 2023
Dr. Tennity came in, asked me why I used orthotics, checked the pulse in my feet, and was out the door in less than 8 minutes. Not much care for the roughly $300 that I'll probably get charged for.
December 05, 2023
Dr Tennity and the entire staff are the best in helping and listening I would recommend them to anyone needing foot or ankle care
