Services
Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains result from unnatural twisting or force on ankle bones, often causing ligament damage. Our practice provides comprehensive treatment plans to prevent long-term complications. Patients receive personalized care, including immobilization, physical therapy, and follow-up assessments.
Bunions
Bunions involve misaligned big toe joints, causing swelling and tenderness. We offer conservative solutions like orthotics and footwear adjustments, as well as surgical correction for severe cases. Treatment focuses on pain relief and restoring mobility.
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetic foot care addresses complications like poor circulation and nerve damage. Our services include regular check-ups, wound care, and preventive strategies to avoid infections. Customized plans help patients maintain foot health and avoid amputations.
Hammertoes
Hammertoes cause toes to bend abnormally, leading to discomfort. We provide nonsurgical options like padding and splints, along with surgical correction for rigid cases. Early intervention prevents worsening and improves comfort.
Heel Pain
Heel pain often stems from plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the foots arch tissue. Treatments include stretching exercises, orthotic inserts, and shockwave therapy. Our goal is to alleviate pain and restore daily activity function.

Love Dr. Hillman! This is not one of those places where you sit around in a waiting room for an hour just to get 5 minutes with the Doctor. Dr. Hillman was very professional, very thorough, answered all my questions and gave me all the time I needed. Wonderful experience for me!

She was nice but seemed very unorganized. I waited entirely too long for being the only patient there. Not that it matters but, it smelled like an old house that needs to be dusted. She really should consider removing the carpet and taking out those old couches.

Got here 30 min before my scheduled appointment. I'm writing this as I'm in the examiner's room...it is now 1 hour 15 min past my appointment time and no sign of doctor. No other patients are around besides myself. I won't be back.
