On-site digital imaging
Digital X-ray and ultrasound in the office. Most Birmingham patients leave their first visit with diagnosis, imaging, and a treatment plan — no second appointment to start care.
Conservative care first
We exhaust non-surgical options — orthotics, EPAT, MLS laser, injections — before discussing surgery. 3,000+ surgeries performed when truly needed.
Common in Birmingham
Foot & ankle conditions we treat for Birmingham patients
- Bunions & hallux valgus — Birmingham’s walkable downtown means dress shoes all day. Conservative care and surgical options.
- Morton’s neuroma — burning ball-of-foot pain from years of heels and narrow shoes. Conservative-first plan starting at your first visit.
- Hammertoes & toe deformity — in-office and outpatient corrections that get Birmingham patients back to Shain Park walks fast.
- Plantar fasciitis — EPAT shockwave, MLS cold laser, custom orthotics — the full toolbox before any injection or surgery.
- Achilles tendonitis — common in Birmingham’s weekend tennis and golf community. Ask our team about diagnostic ultrasound availability.
- Ingrown toenails — 15-minute office procedure. Most Birmingham patients schedule on their lunch break.
- Thick, painful nails that are hard to trim — a podiatrist-performed medical pedicure handles nail and callus care safely when diabetes, thickness, or fungus makes a salon pedicure a bad idea.
- Homebound or unable to drive to us — we bring the same care to you with in-home podiatry visits for Birmingham-area seniors.
