Foot and Ankle Care for Northern Metro Detroit
Northern metro Detroit communities — Pontiac, Waterford, West Bloomfield, White Lake, Commerce Township, and Walled Lake — have convenient access to board-certified podiatric care at Balance Foot & Ankle’s Bloomfield Township office. Residents throughout Oakland County’s western and northern communities find our practice a local specialist option for both routine and complex foot and ankle care, with prompt scheduling and comprehensive services under one roof.
Comprehensive Services for the Region
Northern metro Detroit patients access our full service spectrum: plantar fasciitis and heel pain treatment, bunion and hammertoe surgery including Lapiplasty 3D correction, custom orthotics, ingrown and fungal toenail care, diabetic foot evaluations, peripheral neuropathy management, ankle sprain and instability treatment, pediatric foot care, and complex foot and ankle surgery. Same-visit digital X-ray and diagnostic ultrasound allow efficient evaluation without additional radiology appointments in most cases.
Why Northern Oakland County Patients Choose Balance Foot & Ankle
Our practice combines subspecialty surgical expertise with the accessibility of a community practice — patients don’t need to travel to Detroit or Ann Arbor for fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgical care. Board-certified podiatric physicians and surgeons with Lapiplasty certification, ankle arthroscopy experience, and reconstructive surgery training provide northern metro Detroit patients with university-level expertise at a community-based practice. Most major Michigan insurance plans are accepted.
