Services
Reconstructive Surgery
Our board-certified surgeons perform hammertoe corrections, ligament repairs, and fusion procedures using advanced techniques. We address structural deformities and traumatic injuries with personalized surgical plans. Patients benefit from faster recovery times and improved mobility through our specialized interventions.
Custom Orthotics
We provide customized ankle-foot orthoses and fracture boots designed to support recovery and daily mobility. Our orthotics combine medical-grade materials with patient-specific measurements for optimal comfort and functionality. These solutions help manage chronic conditions and post-surgical rehabilitation effectively.
Laser Toenail Treatment
This non-invasive procedure uses targeted laser technology to eliminate toenail fungus without damaging surrounding tissue. Patients experience minimal discomfort and no downtime following treatment. Most see visible improvement within several months as healthy nails regrow naturally.
Nerve Fiber Testing
We conduct precise 3mm skin biopsies to assess small nerve fiber density in patients with unexplained foot pain. This diagnostic tool helps identify neuropathy causes like diabetes or chronic inflammation. Results guide targeted treatment plans for managing tingling, numbness, and burning sensations.
In-House X-Rays
Our digital x-ray systems provide immediate imaging for fractures, arthritis, and structural abnormalities. Same-day diagnostics eliminate treatment delays and allow for accurate diagnosis during initial consultations. This technology supports efficient care planning for acute injuries and chronic conditions.
