Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Care
There are many reasons you may need to see a foot doctor. The feet, ankles, and lower legs rely on dozens of bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments working together, and when any part of that system is not functioning properly, pain and limited mobility can follow.
Our experienced podiatrists treat everything from minor discomfort to severe, chronic pain, and every treatment plan is tailored to your symptoms, goals, and daily activities.
Our Foot and Ankle Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are prescription shoe inserts made from precise measurements of your feet. They correct abnormal foot mechanics, support the arch, and relieve pain from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, and knee, hip, and back pain related to the way you walk.
EPAT Shock Wave Therapy
EPAT shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic pressure waves to stimulate blood flow and healing in damaged tissue. It is an excellent option for chronic heel pain and Achilles tendonitis that has not responded to other treatments, with no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime.
Foot and Ankle Surgery
Our physicians are residency trained in foot surgery and reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery. When conservative care is not enough, we offer surgical solutions for bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, tendon injuries, and other structural problems.
Nail, Skin, and Routine Foot Care
We provide in-office treatment for ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, plantar warts, corns, and calluses, along with routine foot exams for patients with diabetes or circulation concerns.
Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction
For patients with moderate to severe or recurring bunions, our surgeons perform Lapiplasty, a procedure that realigns the entire metatarsal bone in three dimensions and stabilizes the unstable joint at the root of the deformity.
This approach helps lower the risk of the bunion returning and allows many patients to bear weight sooner after surgery.
