Bunions
Bunions are progressive foot deformities requiring expert podiatric care. Our conservative approach prioritizes non-surgical treatments like orthotics and shoe modifications. We provide comprehensive evaluations using in-office X-rays to assess severity and develop personalized treatment plans. Early intervention helps prevent complications while surgical options remain available for severe cases.
Fungal Nails
Fungal nail infections require professional diagnosis and treatment. We offer prescription antifungal medications and nail removal procedures for severe cases. Our approach combines laboratory testing with personalized care plans to address both cosmetic concerns and potential health risks associated with persistent infections.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized foot care prevents diabetes-related complications. Our annual exams detect early nerve damage and circulation issues. We provide preventive education, custom orthotics, and prompt treatment for wounds or infections to reduce amputation risks through comprehensive diabetic foot management.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails require professional assessment to prevent infections. We offer conservative treatments like nail lifting and partial removal procedures. Our approach addresses immediate pain while providing long-term solutions through proper nail trimming education and footwear recommendations.
Plantar Warts
Plantar warts are treated through topical medications and surgical removal options. We differentiate warts from calluses using physical examination and provide targeted treatments to eliminate painful growths. Our approach balances conservative care with effective solutions for persistent cases.
