Your visit is more than just the appointment.

It includes skilled staff, advanced equipment, medical supplies, time, and expertise — all working together to provide quality care.

Insurance doesn’t always reflect those true costs, which is why direct pay can be a smart option for some patients. It offers clear pricing and removes the insurance middleman.

If you’re curious whether direct pay is right for you, just ask — we’re happy to explain.

If foot pain has been slowing you down, winter may be the perfect time to address it.

With fewer outdoor activities and a more flexible schedule, recovery is often easier and less disruptive this time of year.

Planning ahead can mean a smoother healing process — and a stronger start when warmer months return.

Now scheduling consultations. Give us a call to book!

Insurance can feel confusing — and that’s not on you.

What we bill reflects the actual cost of your care.
What insurance pays is determined by your plan — not your provider.

That gap is often where surprise bills come from.

Our goal is transparency, not frustration. That’s also why many patients choose direct pay: clearer pricing, fewer surprises, and care based on what you need — not what insurance allows.

Have questions about your coverage? We’re always happy to walk you through it.

Insurance can be confusing — and that’s not your fault.

In this video, Dr. Patel explains why what a medical office bills insurance often isn’t what insurance actually pays — and why patients are sometimes left with unexpected costs.

This gap isn’t created by your provider.
It’s set by your insurance plan.

That’s also why direct pay can be a great option for many patients:
✔ Clear pricing
✔ No surprise bills
✔ Fewer delays and approvals
✔ Care based on what you need — not what insurance allows

Our goal is simple: transparency, clarity, and care you can trust.

If you have questions about your coverage or want to know if direct pay is right for you, we’re always happy to talk it through.

Weekend warrior mode activated? 💪
Before you jump back into activity, a little prevention goes a long way.

Two simple ways to help prevent injuries:
• Stretch regularly — before and after
• Check your shoes — worn-out support can lead to pain fast

Your feet take the brunt of it. Treat them well.

That small spot on the bottom of your foot might be more than a callus.

Plantar warts are caused by a virus and often start small—but without treatment, they can grow deeper, become painful, and be harder to manage over time.

The good news? Early care makes a big difference. If you notice a new bump, rough patch, or pain when walking, it’s worth getting checked sooner rather than later.

👣 Swipe to learn what plantar warts look like, how they spread, and when it’s time to see a podiatrist.

Reminder before the year ends 👀

If you have FSA dollars, they may be expiring soon—and unused funds are often forfeited. That means now is the time to take care of foot pain, lingering issues, or concerns you’ve been putting off.

FSA funds can typically be used for podiatry visits, treatments, and medically necessary foot care.

📅 Don’t wait until it’s too late.
Schedule your appointment and use your benefits before they’re gone.
