Troy & Sterling Heights Foot Doctor | Balance Foot & Ankle
Patients from Troy, Sterling Heights, Warren, Utica, and throughout Macomb County are welcome at Balance Foot & Ankle. Our Bloomfield Township location provides convenient access from southeast Oakland County and Macomb County for patients seeking expert podiatric care from a board-certified foot and ankle specialist. We are accepting new patients and work with most major insurance plans.
Convenient Access from Troy, Sterling Heights, and Macomb County
Our Bloomfield Township office is easily accessible from Troy via I-75 or Woodward Avenue, and from Sterling Heights and Warren via I-696 or M-59. The drive from Troy is approximately 15-25 minutes; from Sterling Heights and Macomb County communities, typically 20-35 minutes depending on traffic. For patients dealing with painful foot or ankle problems, we work to offer convenient scheduling that minimizes the number of trips required.
Comprehensive Podiatric Care for Southeast Michigan
Balance Foot & Ankle provides full-scope podiatric services for patients from the Troy and Sterling Heights area. Our most common presentations include plantar fasciitis and heel pain — we offer the complete treatment spectrum from conservative care through shockwave therapy and surgery for truly refractory cases. Bunion correction, including minimally invasive approaches with faster recovery, is a core specialty. We also provide hammertoe correction, Morton’s neuroma treatment, ingrown toenail management, toenail fungus treatment, diabetic foot care, wound management, ankle sprain and instability care, and complex foot and ankle reconstruction.
Serving the Diverse Population of Southeast Macomb County
Troy and Sterling Heights represent two of Michigan’s most diverse communities, and we serve patients from all backgrounds and with all varieties of foot and ankle conditions. We understand that different patients have different goals — some want to get back to competitive athletics, others want to walk without pain on a family trip, and others need diabetic foot monitoring to prevent serious complications. We tailor our approach to each individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Diabetic Foot Care for Troy and Sterling Heights Patients
Southeast Oakland and Macomb Counties have significant diabetic populations, and diabetic foot complications represent one of the most important preventable health issues in our community. At Balance Foot & Ankle, comprehensive diabetic foot care includes annual foot exams, monofilament neuropathy screening, vascular assessment, nail and callus management, wound care, and coordination with endocrinology and primary care. If you have diabetes and haven’t had a dedicated foot exam recently, please schedule one — what we identify and address preventively is far simpler than managing complications after they develop.
Schedule at Our Bloomfield Township Office
We offer flexible scheduling with early morning and select evening appointments available. Most major insurance plans are accepted: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Priority Health, McLaren Health Plan, Medicare, and Medicaid. Call (810) 206-1402 or book online to schedule your appointment. We look forward to helping patients from Troy, Sterling Heights, and the surrounding southeast Michigan communities.
