Good foot health care is relatively inexpensive. We know routine servicing of an automobile helps prevent more costly major repairs. We know regular dental checkups help prevent more costly extractions, caps, and fillings. So too can regular examinations of your feet help prevent more costly surgical corrections and treatments.

When such treatment is needed, the services provided by Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (podiatrists) are a part of the benefit package under Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Medicare, Medicaid, and most private health insurance programs.

Most policies allow for podiatric treatment of injuries, such as lacerations, fractures, and sprains; for corrective surgery including ingrown nails, bunions, and hammer toes; for infections and diseases that affect the foot such as arthritis, bursitis, and diabetic ulcers; and for x-rays, laboratory tests and physical therapy.

The Doctor of Podiatric Medicine cares for feet as a specialty, not a sideline, and is trained and experienced in treating all problems of the foot, ankle and lower leg.

Our professional staff is committed to providing quality, affordable foot-care services promptly, courteously, and with minimum, interruption in the patient's schedule and lifestyle.
