Diabetic Foot Care
Our diabetic foot assessments identify sensory neuropathy and circulation issues to prevent complications like ulcers and infections. We use DPN Check technology for accurate evaluations and provide ongoing care to maintain foot health. Patients receive personalized education on daily foot care practices to reduce amputation risks.
Custom Orthotics
We create customized orthotic solutions using advanced casting techniques and pressure mapping analysis. These devices correct biomechanical imbalances, alleviate pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, and improve gait efficiency. Our orthotics are manufactured by PFOLA-accredited labs for optimal quality and effectiveness.
Shock Wave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses pneumatic pulses to stimulate healing for chronic foot pain conditions. It effectively treats plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and soft tissue injuries without medication or surgery. Sessions typically last 15-20 minutes with noticeable improvement after 3-5 treatments.
Biomechanic Assessments
Our comprehensive evaluations use Dartfish video analysis and Tekscan pressure sensors to diagnose movement abnormalities. This technology identifies improper foot mechanics causing pain during walking or athletic activities. Results guide treatment plans that may include orthotics, footwear modification, or physical therapy.
Footwear Modification
We provide expert footwear recommendations and modifications to accommodate foot deformities or post-surgical needs. Services include stretching, padding, and custom insole fabrication to improve comfort and prevent pressure-related injuries. Patients receive guidance on selecting appropriate footwear for daily activities and exercise.

Report
This was my first experience with an actual chiropodist, and I am so glad that I found him! Great service, friendly staff, and my orthotics couldnt be better! Generally speaking, I had gone to places that want to sell me new shoes and help me with my orthotics. Dr. Robert took the time to really check over my feet and my stance and the way I walked etc. and built me an amazing pair of orthotics. I picked them up and went on vacation for a week the next day and wore them every day, no foot fatigue or pain at all. I am very, very happy. I highly recommend all the services here.

Report
I was referred to Rob by another Podiatrist who couldn't help me with the ulcer caused by a callus on the outside of my foot. Rob was able to clean it up and help me get it healed up. If it wasn't for Rob I was told by other doctors I would lose part/all of my foot. For everything foot related up to wound care Rob is the guy you want.

Robert took care of Grandpas twisted horror show of neglected toe nails with a professional efficiency that was actually satisfying to watch. No complaints from Grandpa other than the price, but if you ask me it is worth it.
