Achilles Tendon Repair
Our practice specializes in treating Achilles tendon injuries through both surgical and non-surgical approaches. We address acute ruptures and chronic degeneration using advanced techniques that promote proper healing and restore mobility. Patients receive comprehensive rehabilitation guidance to ensure optimal recovery outcomes while minimizing future complications.
Diabetic Foot Care
We provide specialized foot care for diabetic patients to prevent and treat complications like neuropathy and ulcers. Our approach includes regular foot examinations, wound care management, and patient education about proper foot maintenance. Custom orthotics and protective footwear solutions help reduce amputation risks while maintaining mobility and quality of life.
Hammertoe Correction
Our hammertoe treatments range from conservative management to surgical correction for severe cases. We address pain and mobility issues caused by toe joint deformities through personalized treatment plans that may include splinting, padding, or minimally invasive surgical techniques. Post-treatment care focuses on restoring natural foot function and preventing recurrence.
Custom Orthotics
We create customized orthotic devices to address biomechanical foot issues and provide pain relief. These prescription inserts are designed based on individual gait analysis and foot structure to correct alignment problems, reduce pressure points, and improve overall foot function during daily activities and sports performance.
Plantar Fasciitis Therapy
Our comprehensive approach to plantar fasciitis includes stretching programs, physical therapy, and advanced treatment options. We utilize diagnostic imaging to assess tissue damage and develop targeted interventions that may include night splints, shockwave therapy, or minimally invasive procedures to alleviate chronic heel pain and restore normal foot mechanics.

Report
Dr. Utley and his staff are wonderful. He explained my diagnosis clearly and answered all my questions fully. Best of all, my treatment was simple and very cost efficient (new pads and inserts for my shoes). He didn't recommend any needless procedures that would have cost more money. He also offered to put inserts in all of my shoes if I brought them in! Definitely recommend him and his staff for any foot pain problems.

I called to make an appointment for the first time and I the Doctor's office was more concerned with how I was going to pay for it rather than what my medical concerns were, they recommended I go somewhere else, so that's what I'll do.

I'm on my feet all day at my job and over the last few months developed callouses and they were hurting. I had tried all sorts of remedies, over the counter products, foot baths ect yet still was feeling pain. Dr. Utley examined and was able to quickly remove them, immediately noticed a difference. It was as if my feet were healed by angels, no pain and it's so much better can now tap dance if I want. An excellent podiatrist, words cannot fully express my gratitude, thank you.

I had a horrible experience. Communication when it comes to billing and the health of my child we're not on point. I would not recommend this place to hard working families. Life is hard enough, you shouldn't have to deal with medical professionals that tell you one thing and do another. I shouldn't have to question how and why I'm being billed. It should be explained to me at the time of service, not after I call and and to talk to an office manager. I'm so upset. You find a great doctor and he has a horrible staff. Ugghhh.
