Services
Foot and Ankle Care
Our comprehensive foot and ankle care addresses conditions like arthritis, sports injuries, and structural deformities. We prioritize conservative treatments including custom orthotics and physical therapy. When necessary, our board-certified surgeons perform procedures ranging from bunion corrections to complex reconstructions.
Diagnostic Imaging
On-site digital x-rays allow immediate bone structure evaluation for fractures, arthritis, and deformities. We also use doppler ultrasound to assess arterial blood flow, crucial for wound healing and surgical planning in diabetic patients.
Wound Treatment
Specialized treatment for acute and chronic wounds includes debridement, advanced dressings, and infection management. We collaborate with vascular surgeons to improve circulation and utilize hyperbaric oxygen therapy for non-healing ulcers.
Surgical Procedures
We perform in-office procedures like ingrown nail removal and refer complex cases to San Leandro Surgery Center. Services include tendon repairs, fracture fixation, and limb salvage surgeries under local or general anesthesia.
Arterial Testing
Doppler ultrasound evaluates blood flow to the feet, identifying peripheral artery disease that affects wound healing. This non-invasive test helps determine treatment options for patients with diabetes or vascular complications.
