Meet Dr. Tea Nguyen
Report
I am a mother, wife, and podiatrist. I believe in treating patients as a whole human being and that the patient-physician relationship is sacred. Having worked in the traditional insurance model I realized that this system wasn't working for me or my patients anymore. I wanted to spend more time with patients and give them treatments in a timely manner.

Big Toe Joint Pain
Report
Big toe joint pain can be due to abnormalities or injuries to skin, nerves, bone, blood vessels, or soft tissues. Since our feet are constantly exposed to injury by walking, running, or other athletic activity, and moving around, big toe joint pain is a fairly common symptom. The most common causes of big toe joint pain include ingrown toenails, blisters, bunions, corns and calluses.
Bunions
Report
Bunions are deformities that occur at the joint at the base of the big toe. The first metatarsal, the first long bone in the foot, shifts outward at the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, creating a protruding bump on the side of the foot and causing the big toe to shift toward the second toe. Bunions are usually caused by an inherited faulty mechanical structure of the foot.
Ankle Pain
Report
Ankle pain refers to any type of pain or discomfort in your ankles caused by an injury like a sprain or by a medical condition, like arthritis. The ankle joint is composed of two joints, the true ankle joint, and the subtalar joint. The true ankle joint is composed of three bones, the tibia which forms the medial (inside) portion of the ankle; the fibula which forms the lateral (outside) portion of the ankle; and the talus underneath.
