Wound Care
Our specialized wound care focuses on healing chronic foot and ankle wounds through advanced techniques. We remove foreign particles, apply specialized dressings, and monitor healing progress for patients with diabetes or traumatic injuries. Our team uses in-office imaging to assess bone involvement and prevent complications like infection or amputation.
Bunion Surgery
We offer surgical solutions for painful bunions, including bone realignment and tissue removal. Our board-certified podiatrists use minimally invasive techniques to correct deformities and restore mobility. Post-operative care includes personalized recovery plans with follow-up monitoring to ensure proper healing.
Plantar Fasciitis
Our treatment for plantar fasciitis combines physical therapy, night splints, and targeted injections to reduce inflammation. We diagnose through physical exams and imaging, creating customized plans that address both immediate pain and long-term foot mechanics to prevent recurrence.
Ingrown Toenails
We treat ingrown toenails with both conservative management and surgical options. Our approach includes partial nail removal, splinting techniques, and infection prevention strategies. Diabetic patients receive specialized care to minimize complication risks while addressing painful nail conditions.

I recommend Dr. Ames for your podiatry needs. There's easy check in on tablet. I suggest having any medications or allergies written down so you can have them uploaded by photo rather than manually entered. The nurse who takes you to exam room is thorough with her questions and pretty non nonsense. On my second visit she took me thru a series of x-rays, during which she loosened up. Dr. Ames has always been friendly and hasn't tried to push anything unnecessary on me. Thanks to the x-rays required for this visit, I learned new information about my feet, and was able to have a different, surprise

They cancelled my appointment a hour before because their no doctor that come in on Thursday even though I was able to make a appointment a few days ago. They need to check their system because I took a day off of work to go and now I wasted my time.

My visit with Dr. Ames was amazing from start to finish. After getting very little care at ARC, Dr. Ames fit me right in the very same day I called. The receptionist was super friendly and very helpful. The intake nurse listened to all of my concerns and never made me feel rushed. Dr. Ames was very thorough and very kind. I have definitely found a lifetime podiatrist.

Dr. Ames was by far the best doctor I have had in the recent past. She was so attentive and detail oriented and made me feel like she cared about my ailments. Unfortunately thats hard to come by these days.
