Why Podiatric Surgery?

Our state of the art facility is oriented to providing our patients with the correct care to meet their needs through a variety of treatments which includes conservative care, surgical intervention and rehabilitation before and possibly after a surgery procedure. If you’ve had a foot or ankle condition, injury, we encourage you to reach out to our office for a thorough exam so we can get you back on track as quickly as possible. This may include simple conservative care or depending on the condition it may involve a surgical treatment and intervention. Our doctors will always consider conservative care prior to proceeding with surgery.

What Is a Podiatric Surgeon? 

A podiatrist also known as a podiatric surgeon is a doctor that’s qualified to diagnose, treat, and perform surgery on the foot nickel as well as other related structures. Many conditions that  we see in the office, can be treated with  conservative care however some conditions may need to proceed to surgical correction. Surgery is traditionally considered elective for many of the things that we take care of in the office however there may be some urgent matters that need to be addressed ASAP.

Our two doctors bring collectively 32+ years of experience in podiatric surgery and surgical correction for numerous conditions.  Dr. Bever has additional extensive podiatric surgical training during residency in forefoot, rear foot nerve and reconstructive type of podiatric procedures.
