• Podiatric Medical and Surgical Care Comprehensive medical and surgical treatment of foot and ankle conditions including diagnosis, conservative interventions, and surgical procedures performed by four board-certified podiatrists across two Michigan offices.
• Custom Molded Foot Orthotics Prescription in-shoe orthotic devices custom molded from patient foot impressions to control foot and ankle function during walking and provide support, improved biomechanics, and pain relief.
• Heel Pain Center / Plantar Fasciitis Treatment Specialized treatment program for plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and related heel pain, providing a continuum from conservative care through orthotics, physical therapy, injections, and surgical options.
• Diabetic Care Program Comprehensive foot care program for diabetic patients that includes periodic examinations, circulation and sensation assessment, infection prevention, and ulcer management to mitigate complications of impaired circulation and neuropathy.
• Diabetic Shoe Program Medicare-subsidized annual program providing specially selected diabetic shoes with custom inserts for qualified patients, featuring extra depth, quality construction, and ample forefoot room; patient pays nothing aside from potential co-pay or deductible.
• Minimal Incision Surgery (MIS) Specialized surgical technique using very small incisions for everyday foot problems, resulting in less pain, swelling, scarring, and disability; patients typically leave the office wearing their own shoes with only a small operative dressing.
• Total Ankle Replacement Ankle implant surgery for qualified patients with arthritic ankle conditions, offering a bone-conservative and joint-preserving alternative to ankle fusion that allows patients to maintain an active lifestyle with significant pain reduction.
• Vascular Examination Painless in-office diagnostic test taking approximately 40 minutes that evaluates blood supply and circulation in the lower legs, producing a computerized report; particularly beneficial for diabetic and pre-operative patients.
• Children's Foot Problems Treatment Podiatric care for pediatric patients covering skin and nail problems, traumatic injuries, structural deformities, and functional gait abnormalities, with attention to developmental phases and congenital conditions.
• Teleconferencing and Video Consultations Remote consultation services allowing patients to connect with practice podiatrists via video for preliminary assessments and follow-up appointments, supplementing in-person visits.
