Kirk A. Koepsel, DPM

Dr. Koepsel was raised in the small and friendly Southern California beach community of Seal Beach, located just south of Los Angeles. Prior to his podiatric medical education he worked as a clinical laboratory technologist in research and development for the University of California at Irvine Medical Center. While pursuing his undergraduate microbiology degree from the University of California at Long Beach, Dr. Koepsel worked as a clinical research associate in Bogotá, Columbia, for the National Institute of Public Health.

Dr. Koepsel graduated valedictorian from the California College of Podiatric Medicine, after which he completed surgical residency training at Hayward Vesper Hospital in Hayward, California. During his final year of surgical training at Kaiser Permenente Hospital in Sacramento, he had the distinction of being appointed chief resident. Following surgical residency he immediately joined Dr. Thomas Garrison in Clear Lake, Texas, creating the current partnership called Bay Area Podiatry Associates. The partnering was based on the common philosophy of both doctors to provide the best foot care available in the Clear Lake area.

Since beginning private practice, Dr. Koepsel has been active in his profession, holding various offices including the Harris County Podiatric Medical Society and Texas Podiatric Medical Association where he has served as the president. He is also involved with promotion of his profession and actively pursuing legislative issues concerning managed care that face our community, our state, and our Nation. To help equip and prepare him in this challenge, Dr. Koepsel has successfully completed an exclusive MBA program for physicians offered by the University of Houston Clear Lake.

Dr. Koepsel is married and is the father of two children, Kevin and Katie. His wife, Linda, is president of EppointmentsPlus, an on-line scheduling software program for physician offices. Dr. and Mrs. Koepsel enjoy traveling and are avid scuba divers. They are members of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Nassau Bay.
