Our clinic specializes in preventive and therapeutic foot care for diabetic patients. We address complications like neuropathy, poor circulation, and foot ulcers through regular check-ups and specialized treatment plans. Our team works closely with diabetes specialists to prevent severe complications. Services include comprehensive foot exams, wound care management, and custom footwear recommendations.

Designed for active individuals, this service addresses sports-related foot and ankle injuries.

SWIFT Wart Removal

This innovative treatment targets plantar warts using microwave energy to stimulate immune response. The non-invasive procedure requires no downtime and typically needs 3-4 sessions.

We diagnose and treat foot circulation issues through comprehensive evaluations and multidisciplinary approaches.

Services include non-invasive testing, lifestyle recommendations, and intervention coordination for conditions causing foot pain, swelling, or discoloration.

We provide both conservative and surgical solutions for bunion and hammertoe deformities. Treatment plans consider patient activity levels and symptom severity.

Excellent service and care all the way from reception to x-rays to examination in regard to my broken foot. I showed up on time for my appointments and I never had to wait more than a few minutes to be taken for x-rays and then the doctor. Dr. Felton was a genuine pleasure -- friendly but very clear and direct about my condition, prognosis, and how I should proceed during recovery. I felt that I always had his full attention during examination and he answered all of my questions completely and patiently.

I was especially impressed that he kept the manner of treatment and number of visits to what he deemed the appropriate minimum for my injury -- no plaster cast, no surgery or injections -- and all worked out very well in the end.

My first visit to TC Foot & Ankle clinic was 12+ years ago. I was so pleased with the experience and outcome that Dr. Felton was my first call when I was having foot pain. The office staff is very responsive, and I was able to schedule an appointment quickly. Dr. Felton assessed the issue and discussed all of my options, answering my questions thoroughly. I felt like a partner in my own healthcare, which is important to me. Dr. Felton operated on my foot, and the entire process could not have been smoother.

Right after surgery my foot felt better, and just 2 weeks later I am so happy with the progress. The communication and coordination from the staff throughout was top notch, and took the stress out of the situation. I highly recommend Dr. Felton and TC Foot & Ankle Clinic.

My experience with Twin Cities Foot and Ankle Clinc has always been positive. I have had difficulty with a toe that ultimately required surgery. Dr Sperling proceeded conservatively and listened carefully to my concerns. Ultimately my toe no longer is a source of discomfort and I can walk 3-4 miles at a time without pain.

I have gone to Twin Cities Foot and Ankle Clinic for years now, as a patient of Dr Judith Sperling. I've had a few different problems, and she has always listened carefully to my complaints, and then known just what to offer as therapy. In fact, I resisted one treatment course she advised for some time, to my own detriment, and when I finally relented, the course of therapy was totally successful. Dr Sperling listens carefully, asks pertinent questions, runs on time, and has a personable staff. She is one of my all time favorite doctors, for her good advice, cheery attitude, and common sense.

Twin Cities Foot & Ankle Clinic has been a career saver for me. I have been working for many years as a barber/stylist, and without the expert help and custom arch supports prescribed by Dr. Felton, I would not be able to continue to work on my feet as I have! Thank you Dr. Felton and Twin Cities Foot & Ankle Clinic! Leslie Andresen

I was very impressed with Dr Felton and his office. Great care and went out of their way to perform surgery at a center that they don't normally use. I love my new feet! Have recommended them to more than one of my friends.

I had surgery with Dr Sperling about 6 months ago for my Morton's neuroma. I was so stressed and nervous about this surgery and it went extremely well. Surgery scheduling and day were smooth, postop recovery was better than expected, and I feel like I have a new foot - no more pain and limitations! Dr Sperling was knowledgable and fantastic. Could not recommend her more highly.
