Who We Are

Our team works together to create a positive experience for each patient. From the moment you walk in, you will receive friendly, professional attention.

Our Services

Foot care begins with an initial consultation to determine what issues may be present. Care is provided on the first and return appointments to ease pain and promote wellness. Therapy modalities may include laser treatment, custom orthotic devices, nail surgery, and light therapy.

For patients whom need orthopedic shoes, our shoe specialist will work with you to find just the right pair. If you need custom footwear, we will create the perfect fit.

In addition, we regularly diagnose and treat a range of conditions in children. There is no need for a child to suffer from foot pain. Our foot clinic is here to evaluate and address issues experienced by young patients. We recognize that children’s feet grow at a rapid rate, so we have instituted an outgrowth program that will ensure your child’s orthotics always fit properly.

Whatever your age, we are here to help you find solutions to any foot problems you may be experiencing and to promote the well-being and vitality of your feet.

Our goal is to provide you and your family with the highest quality of foot care services in a gentle, efficient, and caring environment.
