Arthritic Foot Care
Arthritis is the leading cause of physical disability in the United States. This disabling and sometimes crippling
disease affects nearly 43 million people. Although it can affect any joint, arthritis frequently shows up first in
the feet. It causes swelling, pain, tenderness, heat, redness and early morning stiffness in joints.
While arthritis can't be cured, early diagnosis and treatment are important to help prevent or slow damage to joints and to control pain.

Ambulatory Foot Surgery
You are here because you are experiencing discomfort caused by one or several foot ailments. In some cases, surgery is required to correct the condition and relieve your pain. Surgery, as practiced in this office, does not usually mean overnight hospitalization, incapacitation, or discomfort. The objective of ambulatory foot surgery is to aid the sufferer with a minimum of inconvenience, discomfort and expense. An ambulatory patient is a walking patient. It is our slogan, "The patient who can walk into our office can walk out after surgery.
Ambulatory Foot Surgery - How Does It Differ From Other Surgery?
Many surgical procedures that are performed in a hospital require large incisions. A major factor in recovery time
and discomfort is the amount of tissue that has been involved by the incision. Ambulatory foot surgery, in most instances, is performed in an office or an outpatient surgical center. A small incision is made in the patients' skin and a specially designed instrument is inserted into this opening. The entire procedure is performed through this tiny opening. At the conclusion of the surgery , a few stitches may be used to close the opening and a small bandage protects the area. The patient generally leaves the office walking, and in many instances in his own shoes! The condition has been corrected, the patient remains ambulatory and discomfort and prolonged disability have been avoided. Please contact us for a full consultation.
