Foot & Ankle
Our doctors have extensive experience in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot and ankle disorders caused by nerve damage, aging, arthritis, poor blood circulation, diabetes, and infection.Some of the most common foot and ankle disorders we treat include:
- Arthritis
- Fractures
- Ankle sprains

- Achilles tendon tear
- Bunions
- Diabetic foot and wound care
- Neuromas

When possible, our doctors will first try non-surgical treatment methods, such as physical therapy or orthotics to help prevent or correct foot problems and reduce the risk of foot complications.
Orthotics are customized shoe inserts that can balance many foot deformities and correct misalignments. Crafted to the unique shape of your foot, orthotics can reduce foot pain and make walking more comfortable. More often than not, they can also help you avoid surgery. For your convenience, we provide orthotics on site in the comfort of our office.
