Foot Doctors: A Better Option than the Emergency Room for Foot and Ankle Injuries

If you’ve injured your foot or ankle, your best option is to visit a podiatrist immediately. Often times, people choose to visit the emergency room or urgent care center first, only to find out they should have visited an urgent care foot and ankle doctor instead. Urgent care injuries such as sprains, smashed toes, fractures, and pain in the feet or ankles can be treated onsite by one of our skilled podiatrists the same day. When your injury is in need of urgent or immediate care, we can consult and often treat  you the same day - walk ins are welcome. We can, many times, get you in much sooner than the emergency room or urgent care center could.

• Save time by visiting a podiatrist first, skipping the wait of an ER or Urgent Care clinic
• Onsite local x-ray and surgery center ensures we can diagnose and treat your condition promptly and correctly the first time
• Durable medical equipment available, saving a separate trip to a medical supplier
• Save money by skipping the costly emergency room
