Podiatry

A podiatrist is a doctor of Podiatric Medicine who evaluates and treats problems of the foot, ankle, and related structures of the leg. Foot or ankle problems may be caused by genetics, footwear, overuse, or injury resulting in pain, inflammation, limited movement, and decreased mobility. Our podiatrists specialize in many areas including minimally invasive surgery, wound care, and orthopedics.

Whether you need relief from an aching toe or suffer from ankle arthritis, our specially-trained podiatrists work with our other orthopedic specialists to treat all types of foot and ankle injuries or disorders. Our podiatrists also practice preventive medicine ranging from educating patients on proper shoe wear to helping them develop a diabetes foot care routine.

We believe that prompt diagnosis, early intervention, and prevention are essential for the care and treatment of your feet. The goal is to help restore function and facilitate a quick return to daily activities, work, and sports.
