About Us

Achilles tendonitis is inflammation of the Achilles tendon, located at the back of the ankle. It arises from repetitive stress, overuse, or age-related degeneration, causing pain, stiffness, and swelling.

Bunions are bony bumps at the base of the big toe, often caused by genetics or ill-fitting shoes. Our podiatry services specialize in treating bunions. Consult us for personalized treatment options, footwear advice, and preventive measures.

Children have specific issues that require attention and care. At our clinic, we frequently encounter in-toeing, also known as pigeon-toed gait, which can usually be easily resolved once the underlying cause is determined. Flat feet in children can cause discomfort, but it can be effectively managed through appropriate footwear and orthotic interventions.

Corns and calluses are formed due to prolonged pressure and friction on the skin. This pressure can result from abnormal foot mechanics or wearing ill-fitting shoes. At our clinic, we effectively treat corns and calluses by gently removing or thinning the affected skin, which is a painless procedure.

Our Podiatrists are here to assist you with the proper care of your toenails, regardless of the reason. It is crucial to use the correct cutting technique to prevent infections and ingrown toenails.

Diabetes brings unique challenges, especially when it comes to foot health.

At our clinic, we prioritize comprehensive screenings for all our patients, utilizing state-of-the-art equipment to meticulously monitor and document any changes. With our podiatrists’ extensive experience in high-risk foot settings, our qualified team possesses the confidence and expertise to effectively address all diabetic foot concerns.

The most common cause is plantar fasciitis, which we address by providing tailored footwear recommendations and prescribing effective stretching techniques. If biomechanical issues are identified, we can offer orthotic solutions to alleviate discomfort.

Ingrown toenails can be a source of intense pain and discomfort. They occur when a portion of the nail plate, often a sharp spicule, grows into the surrounding skin. This pressure can lead to infection and requires prompt treatment.
Various factors contribute to ingrown toenails, including wide nail plates, improper nail cutting techniques, wearing tight footwear, or skin overgrowth on the nail plate.

Plantar warts, caused by a viral infection, can affect individuals of all ages, with children being particularly susceptible. Finding the right treatment is crucial, tailored to your needs and activities.

Sesamoiditis is a common condition that often affects the forefoot, especially in active individuals such as runners and dancers. It refers to the irritation of the sesamoid bones, which are tiny bones embedded within the tendons leading to the big toe. As these bones reside within the tendons, sesamoiditis resembles tendonitis, with inflammation occurring in the surrounding tendons as well.
