“After years of being dismissed by other doctors, Dr. Tom finally listened. The treatment plan he created actually worked — I’m walking pain-free for the first time in 5 years.”
“Dr. Gutkin is incredibly gentle and explained everything. I’ve been terrified of podiatrists my whole life and she made me actually comfortable. Best medical experience I’ve ever had.”
“Got me in same week for a bunion that two other surgeons told me to live with. Dr. Jay did a beautiful Lapiplasty correction. I walked out the same day and was back to normal in weeks.”

Frequently Asked Questions — Bloomfield Hills Podiatrist
What conditions do you treat at the Bloomfield Hills location?
Our Bloomfield Hills podiatrists treat the full spectrum of foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, heel spurs, ankle sprains, diabetic foot care, and toenail fungus. We also perform in-office procedures such as cortisone injections, laser therapy, and custom orthotics fabrication. Same-week appointments are typically available.
How much does a visit to a Bloomfield Hills podiatrist cost?
A new patient consultation typically ranges from $150–$250 without insurance. Most major insurance plans — including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare — are accepted at Balance Foot & Ankle. We recommend calling ahead to verify your specific coverage. Self-pay and payment plan options are also available.
Can I get custom orthotics at the Bloomfield Hills office?
Yes. Both our Bloomfield Hills and Howell locations offer custom prescription orthotics. We use digital foot scanning technology to create orthotics precisely matched to your foot structure. Custom orthotics are typically prescribed for conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, overpronation, and bunions. Insurance may cover orthotics with a documented medical necessity.
What is the difference between a podiatrist and an orthopedic surgeon for foot problems?
A podiatrist (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine) specializes exclusively in the foot, ankle, and lower leg — making them the most focused choice for most foot conditions. An orthopedic surgeon covers the entire musculoskeletal system. For conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, or toenail issues, a board-certified podiatric surgeon like those at Balance Foot & Ankle will typically offer deeper expertise than a general orthopedic provider.
Does Balance Foot & Ankle offer telehealth or virtual appointments in Bloomfield Hills?
Yes, telehealth appointments are available for appropriate conditions — particularly follow-ups, medication reviews, and initial consultations for non-urgent issues. Virtual visits are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform. Call (248) 451-2002 or book online to get started.
