Services
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized care for diabetes-related foot complications prevents serious infections through regular check-ups and customized treatment plans. Our team manages ulcers, nerve damage, and circulation issues using advanced wound care techniques. Patients receive education on daily foot maintenance to avoid amputation risks while maintaining mobility.
Bunion Treatment
We address hallux valgus deformities through conservative methods like orthotics and footwear modification before considering surgical correction. Our board-certified surgeons perform precise bony realignments to relieve pain and restore normal foot function. Post-operative care includes physical therapy and gait analysis to ensure proper healing.
Plantar Fasciitis
This common cause of heel pain receives multi-modal treatment including stretching programs, custom arch supports, and shockwave therapy. We use diagnostic imaging to rule out stress fractures while implementing night splints and corticosteroid injections for chronic cases. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and correcting biomechanical issues.
Ingrown Toenails
Our permanent solution for recurrent ingrown toenails involves partial nail removal with chemical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth. The procedure provides long-term relief while preserving nail aesthetics. Patients receive post-operative care instructions to minimize infection risks and maintain foot health.
Pediatric Foot Care
We evaluate and treat childhood foot conditions like in-toeing, flat feet, and growing pains through developmental assessments. Treatment options include gait analysis, custom orthotics, and footwear recommendations to correct abnormalities early. Our approach ensures proper foot development while addressing parents' concerns about mobility issues.

Report
I had a great experience. D.P.M. Schuler. She was kind, friendly, and very comfortable to be around. She was very helpful and informative. It took her no time at all to see exactly what was wrong with my feet without a MRI or X-ray. I highly recommend her if you are seeking a podiatrist. Her staff was excellent and friendly as well. I couldnt have been more pleased.
