Ready to Be Seen in Person?
Dr. Tom’s YouTube content is educational, but it’s not a substitute for a proper evaluation. If you’ve watched his videos and are ready for professional care, our team would love to see you. YouTube viewers frequently tell us they came in better prepared and got more out of their appointment because of Dr. Tom’s educational content.
We offer same-week appointments at our Howell office (4330 E Grand River Ave) and Bloomfield Hills office (43494 Woodward Ave #208). Most major insurance accepted including BCBS, Aetna, UHC, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Can I request Dr. Tom specifically?
Absolutely. When booking, request Dr. Tom Biernacki. While all three of our board-certified podiatrists are excellent, we understand you may want to meet the doctor whose videos you’ve watched and trust.
