Diabetes is the inability to manufacture or properly use insulin, and it impairs the body's ability to convert sugars, starches, and other foods into energy. The long-term effects of elevated blood sugar (hyperglycemia) can lead to serious damage to the eyes, heart, kidney, nerves, and feet. Diabetes affects the lives of nearly 26 million people in the United States, and nearly seven million don't even know they have the disease yet!
The feet and ankles work together to provide support and mobility to the body. A foot or ankle sprain is a soft tissue injury. Most often, a sprain occurs when an injury pulls, stretches, or tears the ligaments that connect bone to bone. A fracture is actually a break in the bone. Injuries are the most common causes of foot and ankle sprains and fractures.
The heel bone is the largest of the 26 bones in the human foot, which also has 33 joints and a network of more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Like all bones it is subject to outside influences that can affect its integrity and its ability to keep us on our feet. Heel pain can occur in the front, back, or bottom of the heel, which can sometimes be disabling.
Ingrown nailsare nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the soft tissue of nail grooves, often leading to irritation, redness, and swelling. It isthe most common nail impairment. Usually toenails grow straight out. However, sometimes one or both corners or sides curve and grow into the flesh.
A neuroma is a painful condition, also referred to as a "pinched nerve" or a nerve tumor. It is a benign growth of nerve tissue frequently found between the third and fourth toes. It brings on pain, a burning sensation, tingling, or numbness between the toes and in the ball of the foot. Biomechanical deformities, such as a high-arched foot or a flat foot, can lead to the formation of a neuroma.

Report
Dr. Scott Robertson was amazing. I went to have a painful
ingrown toenail assessed. Dr. Robertson shared that he could
take care of my big toe that same morning. I was concerned that
the numbing portion of the procedure would be extremely
painful as I had friends who had this procedure elsewhere explain that for
them the numbing medication was injected under the toenail and was
excruciatingly painful. For me the entire procedure was painless!
Dr. Robertson numbed my toe slowly and gently, "freezing" the area first.
He was so thorough in his explanation of what would happen and how

I saw Dr Robertson yesterday, my first visit. My husband has been going to Dr. Robertson for over a year now and is happy with him. I talked to the doctor when he was treating my husband last month, and after explaining what had happened to my toe, he recommended an xray. The xray didn't show a broken bone in my foot, between the small toe and the 2nd toe. It DID show a broken bone on my little toe, incidental to the pain I was having from a heavy sawed off limb that landed between my two small toes. It has been a few months since the injury and I have still had pain and am limited to only

My family and I have been a patient of Dr. Rex Smith for over 20 years. I guess about a 1 and half he retired, so when I called to make an appointment to see him, the receptionist told me he had retired and another doctor took over.
I explained that my bad foot was not doing well and I was sure what I did, but needed it looked at. I could barely walk. She told me they could give me an appointment on 1-3-19 @11:20a
I said my insurance had changed and I had a $35 copayment. Unfortunately I don't get paid til 1-11-19, is that a problem. She said it shouldn't be
