About Dr. Yerusalem Lanier
Driven by the positive impact that she has on her patients, Dr. Yerusalem Lanier is healing the world one step at a time by relieving pain, improving function, treating infections, and preventing life-threatening complications in the field of Podiatry. After all, if our bodies are temples, they must stand on solid foundations. Dr. Lanier has devoted her life’s work to ensure the health and wellness of the foot and ankle and has grown into a leader in her field, operating four locations.
What initially inspired her to pursue this profession (and what keeps her interested in it), could be summarized essentially by this one sentiment: Dr. Lanier’s love for people. It was her love for her parents who have had many complications with their feet, from ailments such as gout and diabetes, that sparked her willingness and passion for helping others.
The “joyful interactions” with her patients, her dedicated team, as well as others she comes in contact with throughout her day is held in high regard by the doctor as “a source of great satisfaction.” Dr. Yerusalem Lanier genuinely loves people, a hallmark of a great and skilled healer.
Dr. Lanier completed undergraduate studies in Nashville at Fisk University. She graduated from Kent State Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine, then progressed to residency in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery at St. Vincent Hospital outside Boston in Worcester, MA. After completing this specialty training, she moved back to Nashville and opened Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle Clinic. Dr. Lanier is excited to be adding an additional location in the near future, for a grand total of five locations from which to serve those in need of care. “Our patients often make long drives to get to us, which is why we’re excited our multiple locations are making it less of a chore for more and more in the Nashville area. Our Brentwood expansion makes it so much easier for our patients from the south side to get in to see us!”

Yerusalem Lanier, DPM is excellent! She is a runner herself and provided me with tons of helpful information regarding my injury and how to move forward with running.
September 3, 2025Michael K.Verified patient
Once we were in the exam room, everything went well and moved along. Everyone was more than friendly and helpful. Very knowledgeable and open. Full of information and orders, open to questions. Very positive experience except for the long wait in the waiting room. The big screen with underwater creatures was a nice diversion during the waiting.

The staff & doctor provided a warm and genuine concern for the problems I was having, and addressed them in a timely & successful manner. This is not my 1st visit to this office with Dr. Lanier, and I can't say enough about what a wonderful doctor she is!
March 17, 2025Karin B.Verified patient
I did not see the doctor I booked an appointment with. I saw a PA who did not work there full time. She was just filling in for someone. She kept leaving the room to consult with a doctor who never came into the room to see my problem. I could hear them in the hallway talking about my issue. She went to file my nail down and cut my skin. Very unpleasant experience and will not go back nor refer anyone to this office.

It is very confusing for there to be two places to fill out paperwork. I did this twice online. Then when I walked up to the check in desk they wanted us to fill out again all that paper work. I was not going to do that again. I had made copies before I arrived and handed that to the lady. I also had already uploaded my ID and insurance card. And still had to give that to them. Then the computer froze up The Second Lady at the front desk had to scan my ID and then she must have put my stuff on someone’s else account because she had to ask again for my id to correct her mistake. Which is fine that stuff happens. I don’t like the fact that my information is on zocdoc and they didn’t even look at it there. What the purpose of all this. Either stream line that so the office people can access that easily or done even do that way. Don’t have time to fill out paperwork over and over again

Filed out all the forms and information online day before the sppt, but handed 10 pages of forms (same info) when I checked in. Why?

The doctor was absolutely great
October 6, 2024Linda G.Verified patient
I felt like I went through a car wash just another ingrown toenail removal. She spoke so fast that I could not quite capture everything. She removed the ingrown and when I went to remove the dressing and put a new one on after 24 hours the toenail was jagged. The side of the toenail is not supposed to be jagged. Not sure what I'm going to do to fix this now. If you want a photo I can provide it.
