Built upon the knowledge and experience of our ankle and foot doctors, our Foot & Ankle Center provides our patients with exceptional ankle and foot care as well as comprehensive education. When you visit our Foot & Ankle Center, you can rest assured that you are receiving the highest level of specialized ankle and foot care. Our doctors are committed to continuing their education as well as using the latest evidence-based treatments and surgical techniques to provide our patients with advanced orthopedic care. To provide an accurate diagnosis of your ankle or foot issue, our doctors will perform an evaluation as well as order tests, such as X-rays. Once the cause of your ankle or foot problem has been determined, our foot doctors will work together to develop an individualized treatment plan that utilizes nonsurgical treatment options first instead of recommending surgery. These treatments may include diabetic foot care, physical therapy, custom orthotics, or anti-inflammatory medication. If the conservative treatment options are ineffective at providing relief for your condition or injury, our orthopedic surgeons will develop a surgical plan that is right for you. If surgery is recommended for your ankle or foot problem, our foot and ankle surgeons are some of the most highly skilled surgeons and offer a broad range of foot and ankle surgeries. This includes the following surgeries and procedures:
  • Bunion correction surgery
  • Flatfoot correction
  • Minimally invasive surgery
