Medically Reviewed by Dr. Tom Biernacki, DPM — Board-Certified Podiatrist, Balance Foot & Ankle Specialists, Michigan. Last updated April 2026.
Residents of Berkley and Huntington Woods in Oakland County have access to comprehensive podiatric care at Balance Foot & Ankle.

About Berkley and Huntington Woods
Berkley is a active city of approximately 15,000 residents in Oakland County, known for its walkable downtown, diverse dining scene, and active community events along 12 Mile Road. Huntington Woods, neighboring to the north, is a small but distinctive city of around 6,500 — often recognized as one of Michigan’s most livable communities, with tree-lined streets and a strong sense of neighborhood identity.
Both communities attract residents who value walkability and outdoor activity — which means foot and ankle health is a real priority. Whether it’s morning runs through Rackham Golf Course, weekend hikes at Starr Jaycee Park, or long walks along Woodward Avenue, foot pain can significantly disrupt the active lifestyle that Berkley and Huntington Woods residents enjoy.
Foot and Ankle Conditions We Treat
Our podiatrists diagnose and treat the full spectrum of foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, bunions and bunionettes, hammertoes and toe deformities, ingrown toenails, fungal nail infections, diabetic foot care and wound management, ankle sprains and instability, Achilles tendinopathy, flat feet and high arches, metatarsalgia, neuromas, and arthritis of the foot and ankle. We also provide custom orthotic fabrication and prescription footwear recommendations tailored to each patient’s specific biomechanical needs.
Same-Week Appointments Available
We understand that foot pain doesn’t follow a convenient schedule. Our team works to offer prompt appointments for patients experiencing acute pain, and we maintain efficient scheduling so you’re not waiting weeks for evaluation. New patients are always welcome, and we accept most major insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid.
