The specialty of Podiatry involves the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the feet and ankles. The Podiatry Department at Thomas E. Langley Medical Center delivers the highest quality foot and ankle care to patients of all ages so they can have healthy feet for life. We treat many different injuries to the feet and ankles including fractures, sprains, and ligament tears. We are also experienced in the treatment of flat feet, heel pain, in-toed or out-toed walking, ingrown toenails, fungus of the nails or feet, and many other foot ailments.
For their overall health, it is very important for seniors and diabetics to take good care of their feet. The Podiatry Department at Langley provides a place of quality patient care and treatment with an emphasis on teaching in order to properly educate patients on the maintenance and health of their feet. Like seniors and diabetics, children also can have unique disorders of their feet that require special treatment. Here at TELMC we make every effort to treat our pediatric patients in a friendly, compassionate way.
Outside referrals are welcome in the Podiatry Department. Most insurances are accepted including Medipass, Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare. We also offer a Sliding Fee Scale for those who qualify.
