Services
Heel Pain
Specialized treatment for heel pain using advanced diagnostic tools and MLS Laser Therapy. Our approach combines physical examination with imaging technology to identify root causes like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendinitis. Patients receive customized treatment plans incorporating stretching exercises, orthotics, and non-invasive therapies to restore mobility and prevent recurrence.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive foot care program for diabetic patients focusing on prevention and early intervention. Services include regular foot screenings, wound care management, and education on proper foot hygiene. Our team addresses complications like neuropathy and poor circulation through specialized treatments that reduce amputation risks and maintain overall foot health.
MLS Laser Therapy
FDA-approved MLS Laser Therapy for inflammation reduction and tissue regeneration. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses conditions like plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and post-surgical swelling. The therapy uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair processes, providing pain relief without medication or downtime for patients with acute or chronic foot conditions.
Bunion Treatment
Multi-modal approach to bunion diagnosis and treatment ranging from conservative management to surgical correction. Non-surgical options include custom orthotics, shoe modifications, and physical therapy. For severe cases, our board-certified surgeon performs minimally invasive procedures to realign toe joints and alleviate pain while maintaining natural foot function and aesthetics.
Sports Medicine
Specialized care for sports-related foot and ankle injuries including sprains, fractures, and stress injuries.

Dr Tomey is awesome at what he does with your feet. I have seen him multiple times and he is no nonsense and has ALWAYS been correct with my feet. I am 72 years, diabetic, former athlete, and I trust him completely. William Robinson

Awesome place! Called on a Thursday afternoon to setup an appointment to have an old bump on my toe looked at. The doctor saw me Friday morning, performed a small procedure, and I was in and out in under an hour. Professional, courteous staff, awesome doctor, 'nuff said!

Your doctors and staff are excellent. Your communications are abominable. Today I received a call from the Cary Office. I answered the call and was greeted with dead silence. I called back and spoke with Lisa who told me she saw no notes indicating anyone called me. I guess it was a silent reminder that I have an appointment on Thursday.

I have always had a great experience with Dr. Tomey and his staff. He is such a good doctor that I have paid out of pocket rather than go to someone else. He is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. I have never had a problem with his staff either.
