Common Podiatrist & Foot Doctor House Call Conditions

Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments fail, especially if the tendon is severely damaged or the foot’s arch collapses. Surgical options can include tendon repair, reconstruction, or in some cases, a fusion of the affected joint.
Recovery time can vary. Mild to moderate cases usually improve within 6 to 8 weeks with proper treatment. However, more severe cases or those requiring surgery may take several months for full recovery.
Diabetic Foot Care
- Diabetes is the leading cause of amputations. This is mostly preventable.
- Diabetic amputations result from waiting a little too long to get a little bit of expert help.

- Our podiatric physician and surgeon is a diabetic limb salvage expert.

- Even then, you will still be instructed to see an ankle specialist. Now you can skip all the hassle and have an award-winning ankle specialist come right to your home or office.
- We are on-call 24-7, so you don’t have to wait.
Thick Difficult to Cut Toenails
- One of the most frequent reasons adults go to the podiatrist is to trim thick, yellow, painful toenails.
- In most cases, just cutting these toenails provides tremendous relief from discomfort and can make walking much easier.
- There is really no reason to wait all day in a crowded podiatry office to get those toenails trimmed. We provide house-call podiatry appointments even for toenail trimming.
