Podiatrist Serving Troy, Birmingham & Southeast Oakland County Michigan

Our office at 43494 Woodward Ave #208 is approximately 5–10 minutes from Birmingham via Woodward Ave South; approximately 10 minutes from Troy via Big Beaver Road West to Woodward Ave; and within Bloomfield Township for Bloomfield Hills residents. Dr. Tom Biernacki, DPM provides comprehensive foot and ankle care for the active southeast Oakland County community.

Troy & Birmingham Professional & Executive Community
Troy and Birmingham host major corporate headquarters, professional service firms, and affluent residential communities — a patient population with specific demands for rapid, high-quality podiatric care that accommodates executive schedules. Balance Foot & Ankle provides same-day appointments for acute conditions, efficient visit models designed for professional time constraints, and advanced services including Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction, MLS laser therapy, and custom orthotics fabricated in-office. For Troy and Birmingham patients, the Bloomfield Hills office is a 10-minute commute from the Big Beaver Road corridor and a 5-minute commute from Birmingham’s downtown professional district — appointment scheduling that doesn’t require planning a half-day away from the office.
Birmingham Youth Athletic Programs — Sports Podiatry
Birmingham and Troy school districts — Birmingham City, Troy Athens, Troy High — have competitive athletic programs in cross-country, track, soccer, basketball, and lacrosse that create significant sports podiatry demand. Common sports injuries from southeast Oakland County youth athletes: Sever’s disease (calcaneal apophysitis) in athletes ages 8–14; ankle sprains in basketball and soccer; stress reactions in cross-country runners from rapid mileage increases; and plantar fasciitis in young runners who transition to harder training surfaces. Same-day evaluation for acute sports injuries prevents the “playing through it” progression from Grade 1 ankle sprains to Grade 3 injuries and from stress reactions to complete stress fractures.
