Macomb Township & Shelby Township Foot Doctor | Balance Foot & Ankle
Patients from Macomb Township, Shelby Township, Romeo, Ray Township, and throughout northeast Macomb County are welcome at Balance Foot & Ankle. Our Bloomfield Township location provides convenient access for Macomb County patients seeking expert podiatric care with prompt scheduling. Dr. Thomas Bembynista is a board-certified podiatrist providing comprehensive foot and ankle treatment for patients of all ages.
Convenient Access from Macomb Township and Shelby Township
Our Bloomfield Township office is accessible from Macomb Township and Shelby Township via M-59 or I-696, with a typical drive time of 25-40 minutes depending on your exact location. We understand that northeast Macomb County has significant population growth but limited local specialty podiatric options — we welcome patients who are willing to make the drive for high-quality, personalized foot care.
What We Treat for Macomb County Patients
Balance Foot & Ankle provides comprehensive podiatric care for all foot and ankle conditions. Our core services include plantar fasciitis and heel pain (the most common reason patients seek podiatric care), bunion correction with both traditional and minimally invasive options, hammertoe correction, Morton’s neuroma treatment, ingrown toenail management, toenail fungus treatment, custom orthotics, ankle sprain management, Achilles tendon disorders, stress fractures, and diabetic foot care including wound management. Complex cases including flatfoot reconstruction, ankle arthritis management, and reconstructive surgery are also available.
Growing Families, Active Adults — Northeast Macomb County
Macomb Township and Shelby Township are among the fastest-growing communities in Michigan, with a diverse population of young families, active adults, and seniors. We serve this range of patients — from youth sports injuries (growth plate problems, stress fractures in young athletes) to adult working patients with occupational foot problems, to seniors needing diabetic foot monitoring and joint care. Whatever stage of life you’re in, your feet matter to your quality of life, and we’re here to help keep them healthy.
Diabetic Foot Care
With Michigan’s high prevalence of diabetes, comprehensive diabetic foot care is a priority at Balance Foot & Ankle. Annual foot exams, neuropathy screening, vascular assessment, preventive nail and callus care, and early identification of developing problems all reduce the risk of the serious complications that lead to hospitalization and amputation. We work with patients’ primary care providers to ensure foot health is part of their overall diabetes management plan.

We are accepting new patients and offer prompt scheduling, including early morning appointments for those traveling from Macomb County. Most major insurance plans accepted. Call (810) 206-1402 or book online to schedule your consultation with Dr. Bembynista at our Bloomfield Township office. We look forward to helping patients from Macomb Township, Shelby Township, and throughout northeast Macomb County.
