The most important clinical decision with New Hudson Michigan Foot Doctor — Foot & Ankle Care isn’t which treatment to choose — it’s identifying which subtype you have first. Our podiatrists see patients treated for the wrong subtype for months before the correct diagnosis leads to full resolution. Call (810) 206-1402 — expert podiatric care across Michigan.

Foot Doctor for New Hudson, Michigan
New Hudson is a growing community in Lyon Township along the I-96 and Grand River Avenue corridors — conveniently positioned between South Lyon to the west and Wixom to the east, with easy interstate access in both directions. When New Hudson residents need foot and ankle specialist care, Balance Foot & Ankle offers two accessible options: our Howell office approximately 12–15 miles west via I-96, and our Bloomfield Hills office approximately 17–19 miles east. Board-Certified podiatrist Dr. Tom Biernacki provides expert care at both locations.
Convenient Interstate Access to Expert Foot Care
New Hudson’s location on the I-96 corridor makes access to both Balance Foot & Ankle offices straightforward — no navigating complex suburban road networks. Residents managing plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, ankle sprains, bunions, ingrown toenails, and sports injuries can reach specialist podiatric care with a simple interstate drive. New Hudson’s proximity to the South Lyon school district athletic community generates consistent sports injury demand — ankle sprains, stress fractures, and Sever’s disease in young athletes.
Adult New Hudson residents active in running along the I-96 trails and Grand River Avenue corridor, cycling, and recreational sports develop the standard overuse injury presentations that Dr. Biernacki manages with sports-specific expertise. Same-week appointments are typically available at both office locations.

Dr. Tom Biernacki’s Recommendation
New Hudson is a community we serve from both directions — the I-96 corridor makes it equidistant from Howell and Bloomfield Hills. Patients choose whichever office fits their schedule better. We see a mix of New Hudson patients: runners using the road network, athletes from South Lyon schools, and adults managing the usual foot and ankle concerns. The interstate access makes getting to either office easy, and we’re glad to serve this growing community.
