Diabetic Foot Care in Bloomfield Hills — Partnered with Grunberger Diabetes Institute

The Most Powerful Diabetic Foot Care Partnership in Michigan

What if your endocrinologist and your podiatrist were in the same building — and could communicate directly about your care? At Balance Foot & Ankle, our Bloomfield Hills office at 43494 Woodward Ave, Suite 208 shares a building with the Grunberger Diabetes Institute — one of Michigan’s most respected diabetes centers. Dr. George Grunberger, MD, FACE, FACP, Past President of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, has published 150+ research articles in diabetes. Your diabetes care doesn’t get better than this — and now your foot care is right next door. Call (810) 206-1402.

What This Means for Your Diabetic Foot Health

Coordinated care means your HbA1c and glycemic data inform our foot care decisions. Foot care findings (neuropathy severity, wound status) inform endocrinology treatment intensity. One trip — see both specialists. Faster referral turnaround when foot findings need endocrinology review. Patient education that aligns between both practices. No conflicting advice from two offices that have never communicated.
