Our multi-disciplinary medical center provides comprehensive care for all lower extremity conditions, recognizing the profound impact these issues can have on mobility and quality of life. Our team of expert podiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, vascular specialists, and endocrinologists collaborate to offer personalized care for a wide range of needs, including specialized expertise in diabetic foot care and wound management.   

 

Our podiatry department addresses common foot and ankle problems like bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, and ingrown toenails, as well as more complex conditions. Notably, we offer specialized diabetic foot care, recognizing the heightened risk of complications in patients with diabetes. This includes regular foot exams, neuropathy assessments, and preventative strategies to avoid ulcer development. Using advanced diagnostics, our podiatrists create individualized treatment plans that may include orthotics, physical therapy, medication, injections, or surgery. We prioritize patient education for proactive foot health, particularly crucial for diabetic patients.   

 

For complex foot and ankle disorders, our orthopedic surgeons offer specialized expertise in managing fractures, sprains, dislocations, arthritis, and tendonitis. We offer both surgical and non-surgical options, emphasizing minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery. Advanced surgical procedures, like joint replacement, are available, along with comprehensive rehabilitation.   

 

Knee and leg pain are also a key focus. Our specialists diagnose the root cause of pain, whether from osteoarthritis, ligament tears, meniscus injuries, or overuse. Treatment ranges from non-surgical approaches like physical therapy and injections to advanced surgical procedures like arthroscopy and knee replacement, aiming to restore function and reduce pain.

Our center also provides plastic and reconstructive surgery for congenital conditions, trauma injuries, and post-surgical needs. Skilled surgeons use advanced techniques like skin grafts and bone grafting to restore form and function with compassionate care. This is particularly relevant for diabetic patients who may require reconstructive procedures following ulcerations or infections.

A crucial component of our comprehensive lower extremity care is our focus on diabetic wound care and the integration of endocrinology services. Diabetic patients are at increased risk for slow-healing wounds, particularly on the feet. Our team provides specialized wound care management, including debridement, dressings, and offloading techniques to promote healing and prevent infection. Our endocrinologists work closely with the other specialists to manage the underlying diabetes, optimizing blood sugar control which is essential for wound healing and overall health. This collaborative approach ensures that patients receive holistic care addressing both the wound itself and the underlying metabolic condition.   

 

Finally, we offer minimally invasive treatments for varicose and spider veins, such as sclerotherapy and laser therapy, performed by our vascular specialists. These outpatient procedures minimize downtime.   

 

We prioritize patient-centered care, open communication, and shared decision-making to help you achieve optimal lower extremity health and overall well-being, especially for those managing diabetes. 1 Our integrated approach, combining specialized expertise in various disciplines, ensures comprehensive and effective care for all our patients.
