What our doctors say

"Lots of times patients who visit the ER first, come into the office after and still need X-rays because the ER X-rays are non weight bearing and sometimes do not show the whole picture of what is going on with the foot"
Dr. Michele McGowan
"Delay of correct care is my number one concern for the patient, the ER does a great job of helping people not die, their job is triage! If you know you just injured your foot, go see the foot doctor, it makes perfect sense. Also, we don't take as long to get you in and treat you, we can be extremely problem focused!"
Dr. Tim Henne

When should I consider something an emergency?

In the simplest terms, if it hurts get in to the Center for Ankle and Foot Care. People often delay care for all different reasons, but if your foot or ankle hurts you should get into the office sooner than later.

Going barefoot and step on something

We have all the tools to help you with that!
Stepping on something and it getting embedded into the bottom of the foot can not be ignored! Many people think this is not a big deal, but sometimes this becomes a major problem that can lead to limb loss. Often, our doctors can take care of this problem the same day.

Ankle Sprain
