OUR GOAL...
We want to provide the highest quality foot care to ensure your ability to go about your life without pain.
We always try to provide pain relief with more conservative methods such as shoe recommendations, custom-made orthotics, medications, and protective devices. The majority of the time, these are effective and one is able to avoid surgery. If surgery becomes a necessity, we make sure that you complete education about your condition and outline realistic outcomes. It is important to us that we help you understand your body.
