Services
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis treatment addresses inflammation of the foot's connective tissue causing heel pain. Our specialists use diagnostic imaging and physical exams to create personalized plans combining rest, orthotics, and targeted therapies. Patients receive education on proper footwear and stretching techniques to prevent recurrence while maintaining daily activities.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics provide tailored foot support through precision-molded inserts. We conduct gait analysis and foot mapping to address biomechanical imbalances causing pain during standing or walking. These prescription devices improve alignment for conditions like flat feet, high arches, and repetitive strain injuries while enhancing athletic performance.
Bunion Treatment
Bunion management combines conservative care with surgical options for joint realignment. Non-invasive approaches include padding, shoe modification, and anti-inflammatory treatments. When necessary, minimally invasive procedures correct bone positioning to relieve pain and restore normal toe function for improved mobility and footwear comfort.
Foot Trauma
Emergency foot trauma services treat fractures, sprains, and soft tissue injuries with same-day evaluations. Our team stabilizes acute injuries through immobilization techniques while developing recovery plans incorporating physical therapy. We manage complications from accidents including nail damage, foreign object removal, and laceration repair for optimal healing outcomes.
Achilles Tendinitis
Achilles tendinitis treatment addresses overuse injuries through ultrasound diagnostics and strength assessments. Conservative care includes rest protocols, eccentric stretching programs, and activity modification. Severe cases receive surgical repair options for tendon tears, followed by structured rehabilitation to restore calf-to-heel functionality for athletes and active individuals.

Dr. Vargo and the office staff are excellent! I had a minor foot injury that required a minor procedure. The first doctor I saw disregarded my issue, but Dr. Vargo took it very seriously. He had me back on my feet normally within 3 weeks and Im glad I went to his office!

He is very knowledgeable, understanding, and kind. He helped me with my problem on the first visit. I recommended him to my sister. She had appointments with two other podiatrists who diagnosed her wrong .Dr Vargo fixed her problem. She suffered for months due to the wrong diagnosis. He is just an amazing and a great doctor
