"Why didn't I come in sooner?"
This is a question we hear most often! Most people do not understand what a podiatrist treats and what treatment options they offer. We treat common and complex foot and ankle conditions, including sports-related ankle injuries, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, foot and ankle arthritis, gout, bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, athlete’s foot, bacterial infections, warts, diabetic foot conditions, and foot and leg wounds.
Conditions We Treat
Foots & Ankle Conditions We Treat
Foot & Ankle Pain
Foot and ankle pain can present as discomfort, soreness, aching, or sharp pain in any part of the foot or ankle. It can range from mild irritation to severe pain that makes walking or standing difficult. Our experienced podiatrists are board-certified, providing expert care for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions.
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetic foot care is an essential part of managing diabetes and protecting your long-term foot health. Diabetes can affect circulation and nerve function, increasing the risk of foot injuries, infections, and foot ulcers. Regular diabetic foot exams and early treatment can help identify potential problems before they become more severe. Our podiatry team provides comprehensive diabetic foot care.
Ingrown Toenail
An ingrown toenail is a common foot condition that occurs when the toenail grows into the surrounding skin. Symptoms may include pain, redness, swelling, tenderness, and infection around the affected toenail. Our podiatrists can determine the cause of the ingrown toenail and recommend treatment to relieve pain, prevent infection, and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Fractures
Fractures can occur from sports injuries, falls, car accidents, direct trauma, or repetitive stress. Common symptoms include foot or ankle pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, difficulty walking, and limited movement. Our podiatrists can evaluate your injury, determine the severity of the fracture, and recommend an appropriate treatment plan to support proper healing and restore function.
Changes to Toenails
Changes to your toenails can be a sign of an underlying nail condition. Toenail changes may include discoloration, thickening, cracking, splitting, brittleness, abnormal growth, separation from the nail bed, or changes in nail shape or texture. Our podiatrists evaluate the condition, identify the underlying cause, and recommend appropriate treatment.
Pediatric Conditions
Our podiatry team provides care for a variety of pediatric foot and ankle conditions, including flat feet, in-toeing, out-toeing, heel pain, sports injuries, warts, ingrown toenails, foot and ankle pain, gait abnormalities, and other conditions affecting growing feet. If your child is experiencing foot pain, difficulty walking, changes in their gait, recurring foot problems, or an injury, a pediatric podiatry evaluation can help

"I had a painful ingrown toenail. Dr Blanchet diagnosed the problem and performed minor surgery on my toe to remove the area affecting me. I did not feel any pain and the procedure was over before I knew it. I am feeling much better now and highly recommend Dr Blanchet."​
