Feet and ankles only, which means we see the same handful of problems every day: heel pain that is worst in the first steps out of bed, ingrown toenails, bunions, hammertoes, fungal nails, plantar warts, flat feet and fallen arches, ankle sprains that never fully healed, and Achilles pain. If you recognize yours in that list, it is common, it is treatable, and there is no reason to keep waiting.
Nobody here thinks your feet are strange. Feet feel like a slightly embarrassing thing to bring to a doctor, and the problem always seems too minor to bother anyone about. It is not. We look at feet all day, we have seen the thing you are worried about many times before, and there is nothing to apologize for at the door.
The ingrown toenail visit, demystified: it is done right in the office under local anesthetic, so you are numb and comfortable the whole time. It takes minutes, not hours. And it is, by a wide margin, the visit patients most often say afterward that they wish they had booked months earlier.
Diabetic foot care is the most clinically important thing on this page. Diabetes can reduce sensation in the feet, which means an injury - a blister, a small cut, a pressure point from a shoe - can go unnoticed until it becomes a bigger problem. A regular foot check is preventive, not optional, and it is a short, straightforward visit.
Custom orthotics, honestly explained: they are cast or scanned to the shape of your own foot, which is different from an insole picked off a shelf. They can meaningfully help with certain kinds of pain and imbalance - but they are not a fix for everything, and we will tell you plainly when a different approach makes more sense.
A doctor of podiatric medicine is also a trained foot and ankle surgeon. Most problems are handled with conservative care and, where needed, an in-office procedure. Surgery is offered when conservative measures have been tried and have not resolved the problem - never the first option, but always available.
We also see a steady number of older patients for routine nail and callus care when it is no longer easy to reach your own feet, plus straightforward footwear advice. Most insurance plans are accepted, and visits are unhurried.
