Specialized Care For You
Dr. Smith has built a network of specialists with whom he consults and who are also available to his patients. Because of this, we can coordinate all aspects of treatment for even the most serious cases. Although we provide many aspects of foot care, we specialize in areas that affect a growing number of people, such as high-risk patients.
High-Risk Patients
Maintaining healthy feet is a concern for all, but elderly people with chronic health problems must pay particular attention to how the feet are affected. Foot pain is often a symptom of an underlying serious condition. We treat people with
- Arthritis of the foot and ankle
- Diabetes (Neuropathy)
- Circulatory problems of the foot and ankle
If you suffer from any of the ailments, you may be more prone to develop foot problems.
Preventative Care and Education
We firmly believe that the best way to care for one's feet is to nurture them early, when there are no signs of trouble. With early detention and regular visits, we can often prevent problems that become serious over a period of years. For example, flat feet in children and deformities such as bunions in adults are two problems that can be treated if found early. Education is a major focus of our practice. Dr. Smith teaches patients proper care throughout one's life to prevent problems.
