From Farmington Hills to our Bloomfield office

Farmington Hills patients get expert foot care without the Henry Ford or Botsford booking delay

Our Bloomfield office sits just 14 minutes from downtown Farmington Hills, which means Farmington Hills families skip the hospital network bottlenecks and get same-week diagnostic imaging, conservative-first treatment plans, and surgery only when truly indicated.

Same-week appointments

Call before 10 AM for next-day slots when our schedule permits. New patients average 3–5 business days from call to first visit.

On-site digital imaging

Digital X-ray and ultrasound in the office. Most Farmington Hills patients leave their first visit with diagnosis, imaging, and a treatment plan — no second appointment to start care.

Conservative care first

We exhaust non-surgical options — orthotics, EPAT, MLS laser, injections — before discussing surgery. 3,000+ surgeries performed when truly needed.

Foot & ankle conditions we treat for Farmington Hills patients

  • Plantar fasciitis & heel pain — common in Farmington Hills runners, walkers and corporate-commute professionals.
  • Diabetic foot care — annual exams, ulcer prevention, neuropathy management. We coordinate with Farmington Hills PCPs and endocrinologists.
  • Bunion correction — Lapiplasty 3D, MICA, and traditional options. Dr. Tom is a high-volume Lapiplasty surgeon.
  • Sports injuries — ankle sprains, Achilles tendonitis, stress fractures from Farmington Hills youth and adult athletics.
  • Ingrown toenails — 15-minute office procedure under local anesthetic. Same-day relief in most cases.
  • Toenail fungus — laser, oral, and topical options — honest about success rates per option.
