Our Staff's Expertise
Our medical staff is specifically trained in the treatment of the foot. Our nursing assistants are certified by the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants. Podiatric x-rays are taken in a standing position to more closely re-create the weight-bearing effects of the foot condition. Our staff is properly trained in this manner and aid in educating our patients in their particular foot pathology.
Our billing staff is diligent in evaluating your insurance coverage for podiatric services including office visits, X-Rays, ultrasounds, in-office surgeries, and custom-made orthotics. Every insurance plan is different and these out-of-pocket expenses come in the form of co-pays, co-insurance, and deductibles. As medical costs are being shifted from the insurance companies to the patients in the form of higher out-of-pocket costs, we believe that knowledge of these expenses may aid in appropriate treatment alternatives; This way our patients will not experience any financial surprises. However, this is a service we provide to our patients and not a guarantee of what the insurance company will reimburse us for.
