Podiatry

COMMON PROCEDURES

Podiatry is a branch of medicine that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle conditions. Podiatric surgery is the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the foot, ankle and related lower extremity structures.

A podiatrist is a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) and more commonly known as a podiatric physician or surgeon, who manage and treat conditions affecting the lower extremities. At Mackinaw Surgery Center our podiatrists are board-certified in foot and ankle surgeries. Our skilled physicians provide outpatient treatment and surgery for a number of foot problems including outpatient bunionectomy.

BENEFITS OF CHOOSING MACKINAW SURGERY CENTER

An ambulatory surgery center (ASC) offers many advantages over a traditional hospital. We founded Mackinaw Sugery Center to provide the best care possible to our patients and their families.

BETTER CARE

With higher nurse to patient ratios than a hospital, our staff can focus more on your care.

REDUCED INFECTION

When a patient is ill, we reschedule appointments to reduce the risk of spreading infection or cross-contamination.

PAIN BLOCKS

Our post-surgery pain blocks mean less pain and decreased opioid use during recovery.

MORE CONVENIENT

All surgeries at an ASC are scheduled so procedures are rarely delayed or rescheduled because of an emergency case.

LOWER COST

With less overhead than a hospital and shorter stays, cost savings are passed on to patients for lower out-of-pocket expenses.

BETTER OUTCOMES

With convenient scheduling, more attentive staff, low risk of infection, specialized procedures and lower cost, patients have a much better experience.
