The office was beyond friendly, welcoming. I was impressed with the time the doctor spent with me! Could not be happier with the initial appointment. Our wide range of foot services helps us treat patients throughout Chicago, Gurnee, and their surrounding areas. Like all good podiatrist practices, we provide general podiatric care.
We also provide podiatric surgical evaluation and care for patients requiring corrective reconstruction, including people with bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, and persistent heel pain. If you require special footwear or accessories, consider our custom orthotic, bracing, taping, and shoe prescriptions.

Dr. Lisa M. Schoene has worked with many athletes for over 25 years, so she takes a special interest in sports medicine and rehabilitation. Dr. Schoene has been practicing in Lake County and Chicago for over 30 years. The practice has grown into a well-rounded conservative Podiatric practice with emphasis on excellent patient care, with very talented and caring medical and office staff.
She always keeps in mind the movements of each sport and incorporates that into the treatment plan. According to the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, athletes' feet and ankles are prime examples of injuries due to the repeated pounding on the pavement and side-to-side motion. From sprains, pain, stress fractures, and nerve irritations, your feet take a beating.
Diabetes results when your body fails to produce or properly use insulin. The body's failure to produce any insulin is Type I diabetes, while the failure to properly use insulin is Type II diabetes. Typically Type II is preventable and reversible, and is a newer diagnosis in younger obese children, when it was originally seen in our older obese or metabolically challenged patients.
Dr Schoene has extensive experience with dance medicine in the Chicago and Northern IL area. Dance may appear to be graceful and effortless, but it's actually a demanding physical activity that requires a lot of strength, stamina, and flexibility. Similar to a sport, it makes you susceptible to a wide range of injuries.
The area surrounding the foot and ankle is one of the most complex parts of the human body. When choosing a podiatrist, it's important to find one who understands the anatomy and specializes in the foot and ankle. Our state-of-the-art facility is orientated to providing our patients with the correct care to meet their needs through treatment and rehabilitation efficiently.

I have never in my life written a review but I wish I would've read something like this before my time with this facility. I spent a year and a ton of money here to be incorrectly diagnosed. Turns out I needed surgery which was never entertained by Dr Schoene even after me asking if I could have a surgery to fix my pain. Please do your homework and always get a second opinion if you choose to visit here.

To be fair, as a younger, active male, I am likely not Dr. Schoenes typical patient. She diagnosed me with hallux limitus and strongly recommended I spend $900 on orthotics (most insurance doesn't cover them unless you're diabetic). This would have likely further immobilized my joint and maybe even accelerated the need for surgery. I ended up finding a therapist that specializes in reducing that toe swelling and dysfunction, and actively finding and doing exercises/movements that engage and keep that area mobilized... 2 years later it's improved and I'm managing it well. I think her solutions and

Sorry, this is a long one!
Dr. Schoene and staff are terrific. I've had feet issues my entire life. The first time I saw her was for Plantar Fasciitis Had never heard of it before. She provided an explanation, a foot wrap and instructions to return if it didn't get better. I did have to return after trying the exercises and wearing the foot pad. One shot later and it hasn't returned for years.
I've seen Dr. Schoene for ten years now. Both of our kids have gone to her as well as my husband. All with different needs and great results. I've recommended her to a few friends who have also received
