Foot and Ankle Surgery
Our board-certified surgeons specialize in complex foot and ankle procedures including bunion corrections, fracture repairs, and reconstructive surgeries. Using advanced techniques like arthroscopy and external fixation, we treat traumatic injuries, deformities, and chronic conditions. With over 250 annual procedures, our team delivers solutions for both acute injuries and long-term mobility issues.
Custom Orthotics
Digital scanning technology creates precise 3D models for personalized orthotic devices. These custom solutions address biomechanical issues, alleviate pain from plantar fasciitis, and improve gait abnormalities. Our podiatrists design orthotics for various needs including sports performance, diabetic foot support, and pediatric developmental conditions.

Specialized treatment prevents amputations through advanced wound care and infection management. We employ debridement techniques, offloading devices, and vascular assessments to treat diabetic foot ulcers. Regular monitoring and patient education form critical components of our comprehensive limb preservation program.
