Nothing is more rewarding than our own patients referring their friends and family.
We are inspired by… the words “Thank you, doc.” There is no better inspiration than to know that you have helped to improve someone’s quality of life. You can’t realize how foot or ankle pain can change your life until it sneaks up on you. We feel educating and helping our patients allows them to help everyone involved get back to doing the things they enjoy or need to do.
A big misconception in our field is… “I didn’t know you did surgery for that.” Our practitioners train for a total of seven years on surgery in the foot and ankle region. Although most problems can be treated conservatively without surgery, you can be assured that if a problem leads to surgery, your surgeon has the best training and experience available.
The treatments we’re most excited about include… laser treatment for nail fungus, stem cell and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, non-invasive treatment (extra corporal shockwave therapy) for chronic heel pain, just to name a few.
