Foot and Ankle Surgery
Our surgical interventions address structural deformities and chronic conditions like bunions, hammertoes, and severe plantar fasciitis.

Patients receive comprehensive pre- and post-operative care to ensure optimal recovery outcomes.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized care prevents and treats foot complications associated with diabetes, including ulcers and neuropathy. Regular screenings and early intervention help avoid serious infections. Our team educates patients on proper foot maintenance to reduce amputation risks through proactive management strategies.

Targeted treatments address plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and other causes of heel discomfort. Options include Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy, custom orthotics, and stretching regimens. We identify root causes to develop long-term solutions for sustained pain reduction and improved mobility.

We offer conservative management and surgical correction for bunions, focusing on pain relief and functional improvement. Non-invasive approaches include shoe modifications and orthotics, while advanced cases may require minimally invasive procedures to realign toe joints effectively.

Caring, courteous personnel, which I greatly appreciate. I had to wait a while to be examined, which I was assured by both patients and staff was highly unusual. However, other patients and I engaged in pleasant conversation and I did not mind the wait. Dr. Sherris is gentle, kind, competent, and efficient. Recommend this podiatry practice.

I went in and they were very professional. The woman at the counter was polite and the doctor was helpful in answering my questions. The place was also clean and neat. I would recommend. The lady at the counter even watched my children when I went back. There was a TV in the lobby but she still helped out.

It's been a few years since I've found a podiatrist who was able to so effortlessly give kind and practical, solutions and advice. I am thrilled at the prospects for recovery with this team, and look forward to future visits.
