We Rely on Evidence-Based Medicine for the Best Results
Evidence-based medicine is the application of evidence gained from research to the treatment of patients. When treatment is based on the best and most recent studies, more effective relief of foot and ankle problems can be achieved.
Our doctors regularly evaluate the latest and most pertinent research and rely on evidence-based medicine to ensure their patients receive the best possible care.

We Are Surgical Leaders, But Surgery Should Be the Last Resort
We believe in doing what’s best for your unique situation and that rarely begins with surgery. Instead, our physicians take a more conservative approach to treatment and only once we’ve exhausted all non-surgical treatment options will we pursue a minimally invasive surgical approach.
If we decide surgery is the only option for relief, you can rely on our surgical expertise for meaningful relief. Learn more about bunion surgery, neuroma surgery, and hammertoe surgery.
