Dr. Tom's Product Recommendations
✅ Pros / Benefits
- Dundee and Monroe County patients access specialist-level foot care close to home without the drive to larger metro areas
- Same-week appointments for urgent conditions reduce the delays that allow foot problems to worsen
❌ Cons / Risks
- Highly specialized procedures requiring tertiary hospital resources may require referral to academic centers for complex cases
Dr. Tom Biernacki’s Recommendation
Southeast Michigan patients deserve access to high-quality foot and ankle care without a long drive. I’ve built this practice to serve communities throughout the region—from Livingston County down through Monroe County and across Washtenaw County. If you’re in Dundee dealing with a painful bunion or a diabetic foot concern, my goal is to provide the same level of expertise and personal attention that patients expect from large academic centers, in a more accessible local setting.
