Expert Podiatric Care for Novi and Northville Patients
Balance Foot & Ankle’s Bloomfield Township location offers convenient access for patients from Novi, Northville, Plymouth, Livonia, and northwest Wayne County communities. Dr. Tom provides comprehensive foot and ankle care with the personal attention of a private practice and the surgical capabilities of a specialty center.
Patients from Novi and Northville appreciate the shorter drive compared to downtown Detroit, the typically prompt appointment availability, and Dr. Tom’s communication style — he takes time to explain diagnoses clearly and present all treatment options so patients can make well-informed decisions.
Conditions and Services
The full scope of podiatric medicine is offered: plantar fasciitis and heel pain, bunions and bunionette correction, hammertoe repair, ingrown toenail management, fungal nail treatment, custom orthotics fabrication, ankle sprains and instability, diabetic foot care, Achilles tendinopathy, flat feet, high arches, stress fractures, neuromas, tarsal tunnel syndrome, sports injuries, and surgical consultation for all conditions requiring operative intervention.
Active Communities
Novi and Northville support an extremely active population — the Northville Township trail system, Hines Park in adjacent communities, and numerous fitness facilities throughout the area generate consistent sports-related foot and ankle injuries. Dr. Tom works with runners training for the Detroit Free Press Marathon, cyclists using the Metro Trail system, and competitive youth and adult athletes throughout the Novi and Northville school districts and recreation leagues.
Corporate and Professional Community
Novi’s significant corporate and professional population includes many patients with occupational foot problems — standing on hard floors, dress shoes causing forefoot pain, and commute-related discomfort. Custom orthotics for dress shoes and professional footwear are among the most frequently requested services from Novi and Northville patients. Orthotics can typically be fitted within two weeks and accommodated within most business casual and dress footwear.
