Addressing your common concerns for happier, healthier feet.
What is a Podiatrist?

Is there a permanent solution for a painful ingrown nail?
I have a painful heel / neuroma / tendonitis, but I do not want an injection. Are there other options?
Possible Treatment options include but not limited to: custom
orthotics, stretching exercises, medical grade orthotics, physical therapy, proper
footwear selection, anti-inflammatory pill, gel and MLS LASER THERAPY.
What is MLS Laser Therapy?
Is MLS Laser Therapy Painful?
Can painful corns and callouses be removed surgically?
Is podiatric care and procedures covered by my insurance?
Most insurances cover general Podiatric care. If your condition requires a specific or specialized treatment / procedure / product then our office contacts the insurance carrier to inquire about coverage, copays, deductibles or the need for prior authorization / approval.
If I am able to walk after a foot or ankle injury does that mean that I don’t have a broken bone or fracture?
No that is not true. You should visit a Podiatrist who will perform a physical exam and an x-ray. An x-ray can accurately diagnose a Foot or Ankle fracture.
