Podiatric care to keep your feet healthy for life
At SBH Health System, our podiatrists and podiatry-focused providers are experts at diagnosing and treating disorders of the foot, ankle and lower leg.
Our podiatrists have received specialized training in surgery, sports medicine, geriatrics, pediatrics, orthopedics and primary care. That means we care for everyone, from 4-month-olds to 94-year-olds. And we perform every kind of surgery, whether your issue is reconstructive, congenital (meaning you were born with it), orthopedic, diabetic or trauma-based.
Our podiatry services
If you take care of your feet, they’ll take care of you. Our services can help. Whether you have corns and calluses, heel pain or painful arthritis, we can help you identify the source and get you back to living your life.
We care for the whole spectrum of conditions related to the feet and ankles. And we help people who suffer from a trauma injury, whether it’s due to a car crash, work accident, or a simple fall or break.
From bunions and hammer toes to arthritis and plantar fasciitis, we can help you find relief from pain and discomfort, and get you back on your feet quickly. We also offer nonsurgical treatment options whenever possible — like physical therapy, medicine injections and orthotic devices — for conditions and injuries of the ankle and foot.
In addition, we have a wound center and a diabetic podiatry clinic, where we address chronic wound issues and provide preventive care to people with diabetes or advanced kidney disease.
We know your feet need to carry you the rest of your life. We’re here to help make sure they do.

Dedicated wound center
Our podiatry team includes doctors with advanced training in vascular and podiatric surgery, wound care and hyperbaric medicine (using oxygen to speed up wound healing), as well as nurses skilled in treating chronic wounds.
Some of the chronic wound issues we treat include:
- Acute peripheral arterial insufficiency (a medical emergency caused by reduced blood flow in the arteries)
- Chronic bone infections
- Crush injuries
- Diabetic foot and leg ulcers
- Venous statis ulcers (wounds that take a long time to heal due to circulation problems in the leg veins)
Diabetic Podiatry Clinic
People with diabetes have an increased risk for foot damage due to peripheral vascular disease. There’s also a greater chance of nerve damage, which can lead to symptoms like tingling and numbness, and even gangrene (death of body tissue due to lack of blood flow or infection). Our goal is to help control your diabetes as part of your larger care team and reduce the risk of amputation as much as possible.
We focus on preventive care in our diabetic podiatry clinic, including diagnosing diabetic complications early and providing regular foot screenings. Complications we help identify and address include neuropathy (nerve damage), arthropathy (joint damage) and vasculopathy (blood vessel damage).
Care for caregivers
We can help you treat these conditions through medicine, custom orthotics (shoe inserts) and surgery, if necessary. We may recommend, for example, anti-inflammatory drugs and cortisone injections to reduce pain and inflammation, or shoe inserts to control foot function, reduce symptoms and prevent the condition from worsening. If you need surgery, we have several options for you, which we’ll discuss with you to make sure the treatment best fits your life and goals.
We also may recommend things like wearing shoes that aren’t as tight and avoiding high-heeled shoes, or applying an over-the-counter pad to the area.
Skin care
Our podiatrists treat skin conditions like fungal toenails and athlete’s foot, as well as squamous cell carcinoma (a common skin cancer) and melanoma (the most serious type of skin cancer). We use medicine to treat fungi in the foot or bacterial infections, perform skin biopsies and sometimes surgical treatments, like excisions and removals. We also may perform nail removals and reconstruction of the nail and nail bed, sometimes in the operating room depending on how severe the case is.
In addition, our team treats conditions like psoriasis (an autoimmune disease that affects the skin), warts and hyperhidrosis, which is excessive sweating of the feet.
Pediatric care
Our specialists are highly trained in diagnosing and treating pediatric patients — whether it’s a child born with a foot deformity, like an extra toe or club feet, or a child who suffers from particularly sweaty or smelly feet, a condition called hyperhidrosis that affects young adults more than older adults.
Some of the common pediatric foot disorders we treat include:
- Achilles tendinitis
- Bunions
- Clubfoot
- Duck feet (out-toeing; when a child’s feet point outward)
- Flat feet
- Foot fractures
- Hammer toes
- Heel pain
- Ingrown toenails
- Iselin disease (a condition that affects the long bone connecting the outside of the foot to the little toe)
- Pigeon toes (in-toeing; when a child’s feet point inward)
- Polydactyly (a congenital condition that causes an extra toe to grow)
- Sever’s disease (a common cause of heel pain in growing children)
- Sports injuries
- Tarsal coalition (a condition that develops when two of the tarsal bones form an abnormal connection)
- Toe walking
- Warts
