Accurate Diagnosis Comes First
Many foot conditions share similar symptoms, so an accurate diagnosis is the key to effective treatment. Our podiatrists combine a hands-on exam, a review of how you walk, and on-site X-rays at our Overlea, Glen Burnie, and Mercy offices to find the true source of your pain. From there, we build a treatment plan that may include conservative care, custom orthotics, advanced therapies like Shockwave Therapy, or foot and ankle surgery.
Care for Every Stage of Life
We treat children with pediatric foot problems, athletes with sports injuries, and seniors through our geriatric foot care services. Patients with diabetes benefit from our dedicated diabetic foot care program. For an overview of the most common problems we see, read our guide to common foot conditions.
