Services
Bunions
Bunions require specialized care due to their progressive nature. Our practice offers both conservative management through orthotics and footwear modification, as well as surgical correction for severe cases. Early intervention helps prevent complications like bursitis and hammertoe development.
Diabetic Care
Comprehensive diabetic foot care prevents complications from neuropathy and poor circulation. We provide regular check-ups, wound care, and custom orthotics to reduce amputation risks. Patient education focuses on daily foot inspection and proper footwear selection.
Heel Pain
Heel pain treatment addresses plantar fasciitis and heel spurs through physical therapy, night splints, and shockwave therapy. Custom orthotics help redistribute pressure while addressing biomechanical imbalances causing chronic discomfort.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe management includes conservative treatments like padding and splinting, progressing to minimally invasive surgery when necessary. We focus on restoring toe function and preventing corn development from abnormal pressure points.
Orthotics
Custom orthotics address biomechanical foot issues through personalized arch supports. Our lab-fabricated devices correct gait abnormalities, alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis, and improve athletic performance through proper foot alignment.

I called to make an appointment for the first time and I the Doctors office was more concerned with how I was going to pay for it rather than what my medical concerns were, they recommended I go somewhere else, so thats what Ill do.

I'm on my feet all day at my job and over the last few months developed callouses and they were hurting. I had tried all sorts of remedies, over the counter products, foot baths ect yet still was feeling pain. Dr. Utley examined and was able to quickly remove them, immediately noticed a difference. It was as if my feet were healed by angels, no pain and it's so much better can now tap dance if I want. An excellent podiatrist, words cannot fully express my gratitude, thank you.

I had a horrible experience. Communication when it comes to billing and the health of my child were not on point. I would not recommend this place to hard working families. Life is hard enough, you shouldnt have to deal with medical professionals that tell you one thing and do another. I shouldnt have to question how and why Im being billed. It should be explained to me at the time of service, not after I call and and to talk to an office manager. Im so upset. You find a great doctor and he has a horrible staff. Ugghhh.
