Services
Bunion Correction
Our specialists perform advanced bunion corrections using Lapiplasty 3D technology and traditional methods. We address both mild and severe cases with personalized surgical plans, offering faster recovery through minimally invasive techniques. Patients benefit from pre-operative diagnostics and post-operative care in our certified surgery center.
Heel Pain Treatment
We diagnose and treat chronic heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and other conditions. Our approach combines cortisone injections, custom orthotics, and shockwave therapy to reduce inflammation and promote healing without surgery whenever possible.
Custom Orthotics
Our clinic creates prescription orthotics using digital scanning technology for precise fit and function. These custom devices correct biomechanical issues, alleviate pain from flat feet or high arches, and improve athletic performance through personalized arch support.
Morton's Neuroma
We treat nerve compression in the ball of the foot using conservative methods like cortisone injections and specialized padding. For persistent cases, we offer chemical nerve ablation or surgical removal while maintaining patient mobility through rehabilitation programs.
Sports Medicine
Our team specializes in treating sports-related foot and ankle injuries including turf toe, stress fractures, and tendonitis. We develop return-to-play protocols with immobilization when needed, combined with physical therapy to restore strength and prevent re-injury.

Dr Nelson is the best! I am beyond thrilled with the outcome of my recent foot surgery! It has been painful to walk for over 30 years. I am now pain free! I only wish I had done this sooner! It was a pleasure to interact with his staff they were friendly and so helpful. Thank you Issaquah Foot and Ankle Specialists! Vicki

Follow up questions after surgery were answered in very timely manner. The facility is very clean and prompt no sitting around waiting to see doc. Strongly recommend Issaquah foot and ancle Clinic to anyone looking for a foot doctor.

Report
I have been to the office many times and have had great caring service by Dr. Nelson. My complaint is this, there seems to be an emphasis on selling products with every appointment. I was recently given a boot to wear when I sleep that "might" help my problem. The word "boot" I use loosely. It was a bent piece of plastic, not custom, just a piece of plastic. No cost was discussed with me. I get the bill for more than $400!
I called the billing office multiple times, left messages and got no return call. I left a detailed message why I was calling. Still no direct response to my concerns. Never could get anyone to actually pick up the phone. If so much emphasis is going to be on selling products then they need to start pricing them. There needs to be transparency in the medical industry and stop just arbitrarily charging us for things at exploited prices.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Nelson and the staff at Issaquah Foot and Ankle for anyone with a foot or toe issue. They took care of mine and my surgery went great. They helped me understand what was going on, deal with any questions I had and make me comfortable as things went on. The staff there are incredible and I can't say enough nice things about them. Overall everyone was super friendly and very helpful!

A friend recommended Dr. Nelson to me after I had a horrible experience with another podiatrist and wasted a lot of money on orthotics that made my foot pain worse. Dr. Nelson is not only competent, he is kind and upbeat. After several weeks of injections for arthritis in my toes, I'm back walking several miles per day, going on beach hikes and enjoying life. The staff at IFAS are all kind and attentive and highly competent. And when my appointment is at 10:00 I'm in the patient room getting a shot at 10:00! I just can't say enough good things about Dr. Nelson and his staff.

Dr Nelson is the best Dr I've ever seen. I've been dealing with foot issues for years. He has figured out the root cause and I'm looking forward to my upcoming corrective surgery. Highly recommend.
