Uniquely qualified to
meet your needs, our medical staff, physicians, and surgeons have
all completed their necessary credentials, residencies and training.
Their extensive training continues yearly as they attend continuing
medical education courses in podiatric medicine, biomechanics, surgery,
and specialized techniques such as ankle arthroscopy.
"Interactive" takes on a whole new meaning. We strive to make
your experience interactive from the minute you walk through our doors.
From how you're treated as a person and as a patient; including your
personal records for treatment as well as your preventative and
rehabilitation care.
The cutting edge technology we utilize allows our staff to give you the
personal attention so we can focus on the details for a timely, accurate
diagnosis and treatment. Our modern EMO (Electronic Medical
Office) system allows us to communicate your vital data at the click of
a mouse and process your prescription on-line.
Real-time Diagnostic Results. Digital X-rays are the most
advanced way to assess injuries. Our in-house digital X-rays
provide thousands of details from a single image, allowing for accurate
diagnosis and detect changes of existing complications. This
advanced digital technology allows us to measure a patient's progress
and post surgical follow-up evaluations as well as secure prompt
transfer of the images in real time. This means reducing the
chance for misdiagnosis, quicker treatment and eliminating the need to
go anywhere else.
Conventional Medical Intervention. Conventional Medical
Intervention may include immobilization, physical therapy, injection
therapy, anti-inflammatory (shockwave) therapy, orthotics or bracing.
If orthotics are indicated, we utilize the most advanced methods of
construction. The orthotics treatment includes assessment, plaster
impressions, fabrication, dispensing, adjustments and follow-up visits.
Prevention & Rehabilitation Care. (Diabetic Management,
Transitional Surgical Care, Preventive Foot Care, Physical &
Occupational Therapy Support) We customize programs to meet each
patient's unique circumstances by matching the patient with the right
specialty professionals, such as physical therapist, when necessary.
Patients in our prevention and rehabilitation care are continuously
screened to identify their level of risk, need for education,
specialized footwear as well as skin and wound care. All patients
receive instruction regarding skin care, warning signs, and daily foot
care.
About 19%
of Americans
have an average of 1.4 foot problems per year.
Surgical Treatment. Podiatric surgery involves procedures both
simple and complex: hammertoe to tendon repair, skin biopsy to
ankle arthroscopy, bunion correction to flat foot reconstruction.
Surgery is often necessary treatment for relief of many painful foot
deformities and traumatic injuries. Our surgeons educate you about
your problem, the corrective procedures and the expected course and
outcomes. You will be informed about possible risks and
complications so that you can make an informed decision.
Minor procedures may be performed in the office mini-surgical suites
depending on the complexity of the procedure.
Diagnostic imaging: X-rays, ultrasound or advanced imaging will be
used to aid in the diagnosis and assist in surgical planning.
Surgery is usually performed in a surgery center or hospital.
