Foot and Ankle Care for Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield
Medically Reviewed by Dr. Tom Biernacki, DPM — Board-Certified Podiatrist, Balance Foot & Ankle Specialists, Michigan. Last updated April 2026.
Residents of Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield Township, Novi, Walled Lake, and Commerce Township have convenient access to premier podiatric care at Balance Foot & Ankle’s Bloomfield Hills location. Our board-certified podiatrists serve patients from across western and northwestern Oakland County, providing expert diagnosis and treatment for the full spectrum of foot and ankle conditions.
Whether you’re dealing with a nagging heel pain that won’t quit, a bunion that’s making shoe shopping impossible, or a complex wound that needs specialized care, we have the expertise and technology to help.
Comprehensive Podiatric Services
Our Bloomfield Hills practice provides a full range of podiatric services. We treat all common foot conditions including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, neuromas, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, bunions, hammertoes, and flatfoot deformity. We perform in-office procedures including nail avulsions, wart treatments, cortisone injections, and minor wound care.
For conditions requiring advanced diagnostic workup, we use digital X-ray in our office and order MRI and ultrasound when needed. For surgical cases, we operate at accredited ambulatory surgery centers in the Oakland County area.
Specialty Services for Oakland County Patients
Our diabetic foot care program provides comprehensive annual exams, neuropathy screening, vascular assessment, and wound management for diabetic patients throughout the Farmington Hills and West Bloomfield area. Diabetic foot complications are preventable with appropriate care — our goal is to keep every diabetic patient’s feet healthy, intact, and functional.
We also offer custom orthotics fabricated from digital scans of your feet, designed to correct biomechanical contributors to foot pain. Our patients include everyone from elite runners to elderly patients who simply want to walk without pain. We tailor orthotic design to your specific activity needs.
Treating Active Oakland County Residents
Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield, and the surrounding communities have an active population — golfers at the area’s many excellent courses, pickleball players, cyclists, gym-goers, and competitive runners from the Novi and Farmington school districts. Active people get foot and ankle injuries, and we help them recover and return to their activities as quickly as safely possible.
We treat acute ankle sprains, stress fractures, peroneal and Achilles tendon injuries, plantar plate tears, and all manner of sports-related conditions. When conservative treatment isn’t sufficient, our surgical capabilities cover the full range of foot and ankle procedures.
New Patient Experience
New patients at Balance Foot & Ankle receive a thorough evaluation including detailed history, comprehensive physical examination, and appropriate imaging. We discuss diagnosis, treatment options, and expected outcomes clearly, and we take time to answer questions. Our goal is for every patient to leave their first appointment with a clear understanding of their condition and a realistic plan for getting better.
We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid. To schedule your appointment, call (810) 206-1402 or book online. We look forward to serving Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield, and the greater northwestern Oakland County community.
