New Patients
I'm afraid to go to a podiatrist, but I know I should. What can I do?
Don't put it off any longer. Make a call to our friendly staff and tell them about your fears. By developing a relationship with us, you are also involving yourself with your treatment plan. We can discuss options to help you control and decide your own treatment and techniques to help you relax and feel more comfortable during your visit.

We welcome your referrals and will always strive to accommodate the needs of your friends and family. However, you might send your enemies elsewhere!

Can I choose which doctor works on me?
You can always request your "favorite" doctor. We note this in your file and make every effort to insure that you get treatment from the doctor you want. Occasionally, due to illness or some unavoidable delay, we are unable to honor these requests. If this happens you will be offered the option to reschedule or see the other doctor.
