A Different Approach to Foot & Ankle Care

We treat the root cause, not just the pain, so you can get back to walking, running, traveling, and standing on your feet. When surgery is necessary, we perform the smallest procedure that gets you there.

Conservative Care.
Root-Cause Medicine.

We find the root cause before we treat the symptom. With on-site digital X-rays, circulation testing, nerve evaluation, advanced laboratory optimization, and regenerative therapies, we prepare your body for the best possible healing and recovery.

Every patient is optimized before we touch a scalpel. Healing your foot is the means. Getting you back on your feet, walking and running again, or standing at your job all day without wincing, is the actual goal.

01

Fellowship-Trained Subspecialties

Advanced training in minimally invasive surgery, peripheral nerve surgery, regenerative medicine, and limb salvage under one practice.

02

Healing Optimization Before Intervention

Laboratory evaluation, circulation testing, and regenerative therapies prepare your body for the best possible outcome before any procedure.

03

Team-Based Multidisciplinary Care

We coordinate with primary care, vascular, endocrinology, nutrition, and specialist teams to address the whole patient, not just the foot.

What Patients Say

★★★★★

"I went to 3 different foot doctors until I found Dr. Balkaran. She assessed the problem, ordered an MRI, and determined I had a very serious injury in both feet. Neither of the other doctors had any clue."

"Dr. Balkaran was the 3rd podiatrist we saw to figure out why my daughter was having ankle pain. She listened and figured out the issue in about 15 minutes. The other doctors dismissed it as a sprain."
