Services
Bunion Surgery
Our bunion correction procedures address structural deformities through precise surgical techniques that restore proper foot alignment. Board-certified surgeons utilize advanced methods to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence while maintaining cosmetic appearance. Patients benefit from personalized recovery plans that typically allow immediate or early weight-bearing activity.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot programs focus on preventing complications through regular monitoring, wound care, and nerve damage management. Our team educates patients on self-care practices while providing professional treatments that reduce amputation risks and maintain foot functionality through early intervention strategies.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
We offer both conservative and permanent solutions for ingrown toenails, including partial nail removal with chemical matrixectomy. Our procedures minimize recurrence while ensuring patient comfort, with most treatments completed in-office under local anesthesia for immediate symptom relief.
Sports Medicine
Comprehensive care for sports-related foot and ankle injuries combines diagnostic imaging with targeted treatments that accelerate healing. Our approach emphasizes biomechanical analysis to identify underlying causes and develop prevention strategies that maintain athletic performance while reducing re-injury risks.
Custom Orthotics
Digitally scanned orthotic devices are crafted to address individual biomechanical imbalances through precise pressure redistribution. These customized solutions alleviate pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis while improving gait efficiency for both casual walkers and professional athletes.

After coping with foot pain for a number of years and finding no lasting relief or meaningful Conversation regarding a diagnosis or treatment From another physician, my GP recommended I see Dr Hammer. I was able to receive a timely appointment, quick and courteous check in, and on time meeting with the Doctor. After x-rays and examination, She clearly communicated her diagnosis and possible avenues of treatment. I don't know how this will all work out, but I certainly feel good about placing my trust in Dr. Hammer. Thank you!
