Questions
What makes an orthopedic foot surgeon different from a podiatrist?
Orthopedic surgeons complete 10 years of post-graduate training including medical school, surgical residency, and foot-specific fellowship. They have broader surgical privileges and better outcomes for complex procedures compared to podiatrists.
Do you treat both common and complex foot conditions?
Yes, we specialize in both routine care like bunions and hammertoes, as well as complex reconstructions for severe deformities, trauma, and limb salvage cases that other providers cannot handle.
What areas do you serve?
Our practice serves patients throughout Idaho, Eastern Oregon, Montana, Wyoming, Northern California, and Northern Utah, with multiple surgical facility options in the Treasure Valley region.
What is Direct Orthopedic Care (DOC)?
DOC is our walk-in orthopedic urgent care clinic open 365 days a year until 8 PM. It provides cost-effective, specialized treatment for fractures, sprains, and sports injuries without the expense of ER visits.
What surgical options are available for arthritis?
We offer comprehensive arthritis treatment including joint preservation techniques, partial and total ankle replacements, and advanced fusion procedures tailored to each patient's specific condition and activity level.
