About Mount Clemens and New Baltimore
Mount Clemens, the county seat of Macomb County, is a historic city of approximately 16,000 residents situated along the Clinton River. Home to Macomb County government offices, a growing downtown arts and dining district, and easy access to I-94 and M-59, Mount Clemens serves as an important hub for eastern Macomb County residents. Its historic spa tradition — Mount Clemens was nationally famous in the early 20th century for its mineral baths — reflects a long tradition of health and wellness focus in this community.
New Baltimore, located on the shores of Anchor Bay (Lake St. Clair’s northern bay) in northeastern Macomb County, is a growing waterfront community of approximately 13,000 residents known for its marina, active boating culture, strong school system, and expanding residential development. New Baltimore’s lakefront lifestyle and proximity to the St. Clair River waterway system attracts active outdoor enthusiasts from across southeastern Michigan.
Conditions We Treat
Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain
Sharp, stabbing morning heel pain from plantar fasciitis is the most common foot complaint in our practice. Our customized treatment approach includes prescription custom orthotics, targeted stretching programs, corticosteroid injections, extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and platelet-rich plasma for resistant cases. We tailor every treatment plan to the individual patient’s anatomy, activity level, and treatment goals.
Diabetic Foot Care
Macomb County’s growing population includes significant numbers of patients managing diabetes. Comprehensive annual diabetic foot examinations, neuropathy screening, wound care, and prescription therapeutic footwear evaluation are essential preventive services we provide to reduce the risk of serious diabetic foot complications.
Ankle Injuries
New Baltimore’s active boating and waterfront community, combined with Mount Clemens’ urban recreational activities, generates significant demand for ankle sprain and instability management. We provide evidence-based acute sprain care, functional rehabilitation, and — for chronic instability — surgical ligament reconstruction.
Toenail Conditions
Ingrown toenails are treated in-office under local anesthesia with same-day relief. Fungal toenails are treated with topical, oral, and laser antifungal therapies. Professional nail care for patients with diabetes or circulation problems is available on a regular schedule.
Bunions and Toe Deformities
Hallux valgus (bunion) and hammertoe deformities are managed conservatively with orthotics and footwear guidance, or surgically when conservative care proves insufficient. Modern minimally invasive and traditional osteotomy techniques are available.
Sports and Overuse Injuries
Whether from competitive sports, recreational fitness, or occupational repetitive loading, foot and ankle overuse injuries including Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, peroneal tendinopathy, and stress fractures are managed with structured, evidence-based return-to-activity protocols.
Insurance and Scheduling
We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Priority Health, Humana, Medicare, and most other major Michigan insurance plans. Evening and Saturday appointments are available. New patients are welcome and same-week appointments are typically available.
