Services
Dr. Cynthia Grundy is a board certified foot, ankle and rear foot reconstructive surgeon by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery. She provides comprehensive foot and ankle care for patients of all ages. Dr. Grundy received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Biology from the University of Minnesota in 1996.
Board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, Cynthia Lembcke Grundy DPM, FACFAS opened her Valparaiso location treating all foot ailments. Specializing in sports injuries, fracture, Achilles tendon pathology, bunions, and diabetic foot care. Whether you are a competitive amateur, college, or professional athlete or just actively exercising to stay in shape, South Shore Foot & Ankle can help you with your foot and ankle pain and injuries.
With a bunion, the joint at the base of your big toe gets larger and sticks out. The skin over it may be red and tender, and wearing any type of shoe may be painful. This joint flexes with every step you take, so the bigger your bunion gets, the more it hurts to walk. Bursitis (painful swelling) may set in.
Foot problems are a big risk. All people with diabetes should monitor their feet. If you don't, the consequences can be severe, including amputation. Advanced treatment options are available in the office setting to improve wound healing and prevent amputations. If a doctor has ever said you had an elevated blood sugar level - even just once when you were pregnant - you are at risk for diabetes.
Babies and toddlers appear to have flat feet when they are standing because their feet have fat pads. A slight arch may appear when the child sits or stands on tiptoes. Children are born this way; doctors refer to it as flexible flat foot. Usually, it's painless and doesn't interfere with a child's ability to walk or play sports.

I like the doctor but the VERY expensive custom orthotics they talked me into were constructed incorrectly. Had to send them back. Its been 4 or 5 weeks waiting on them with a big bill sitting on my table. I think I may look into someplace that has their orthotics made more locally.

Explains everything very well. My husband is a big baby as most men when it comes to seeing a doctor but he feels relaxed and very informed when he sees Dr. Meyer. Very professional staff. Thank you finally a Dr. we trust!

I would recommend Dr Grundy to anyone who needs foot care. In one visit she spent more time with me than my previous Dr did in all of my office visits. She is very thorough and takes the time to explain in simple terms what she is doing or going to do.

Dr. Grundy is one of the worst doctors I’ve ever seen. She’s extremely arrogant and rude. Did not listen to my problem, came in the room for about 2 minutes after I waited over an hour for her. I will not be going back or recommend anyone seeing her.

I had to have my large toenail removed due to injury. Dr. Meyer, who by the way was very nice and very knowledgeable, removed it in one day, same visit! The staff was very friendly as well. I was home in less than an hour! Love these people!

Dr Grundy is the best. She always makes you feel like a person and has the best "bed side manner". Could not find a more caring Doctor.

Dr. Grundy and the entire staff at South Shore Foot & Ankle are Amazing! I was under the care of a different podiatrist in Northwest Indiana for severe foot pain for years. I finally decided to seek the help of Dr. Grundy because my pain level was intolerable. From the moment I stepped foot into the practice, I knew that my prayers for healing were about to be answered. I was greeted at the reception desk by a very kind and professional staff member who immediately made me feel like I mattered. I was not just another number. The office manager also made a point to say hello and welcome me to the

Went to Dr Meyer for my ankle he was excellent! High quality service and great to talk to! Ended up with a boot for 3 weeks but I definitely felt confident in his decision and laid out a great plan for my care! Highly recommended!
