Odds are that you've heard of Achilles tendonitis. Maybe a friend or relative suffered from it, or one of your favorite athletes was taken out of the game by this painful condition. If you yourself have started to feel the telltale ache of Achilles tendonitis, you may be concerned about treatment, or fear a dramatic rupture of the tendon.
Brachymetatarsia is characterized by a shorter than usual metatarsal bone, one of the five long bones in the feet that end in the toes. This causes one of the toes to be 'pulled back' from the rest, or overlap the others. If more than one of the long bones of the foot is affected, it is known as brachymetapody.

Went in two weeks ago to have two ingrown toenails removed. The process was quick and generally painless. Dr. Christiansen was great. He explained everything thoroughly and was a really nice person. At my follow up visit to make sure things were healing well I brought my toddler. He was so kind to my kid too and just acted like he genuinely cared. If I have any foot needs in the future I will definitely come back here.

The staff at Arches was so kind and friendly and accommodating. I felt they went above and beyond to help us. I called hoping to get same-day treatment for my daughter, knowing that likely wouldn’t be the case. They scheduled me for a week out, but immediately called me back when they had a cancellation and could squeeze us in. Sherry was especially helpful and friendly, and Dr. Christiansen is fantastic. We will definitely visit again and highly recommend Arches.

Like others who've commented, I wish I'd gone to Dr. Christiansen first. After experiencing foot pain that left me unable to walk for a few months (and after receiving substandard care from the first doctor I visited), I made an appointment at Arches. It was such a relief to finally talk to a doctor that didn't dismiss my pain or make me feel like I was just a number on a chart.

We had a great experience with Dr Christiansen. He was thorough and explained everything in detail. He made my daughter feel comfortable. He addressed my issue of wanting a holistic option as well and advised me on all options so I can make a choice I feel good about for my daughter. His front desk girl and medical assistant were very nice and helpful. I’d recommend him to friends.

Dr. Christiansen and his staff are great. The office environment is clean and organized. I didn't wait long. Dr. Christiansen took a lot of time with me to understand my foot issues and to help determine the root of the cause. I paid cash (on HDHP) and his prices were very reasonable. I've been to other podiatrists who were quick to prescribe orthotics etc...but Dr. Christiansen listened to me and gave me doable options to help deal with my foot issues.

Dr. Christiansen and his staff are wonderful. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. Dr. Christiansen takes time to explain any question you might have about your feet without rushing you and making you feel like a number in a sea of patients. He really makes you feel as if you’re his only patient. I highly recommend Arches Foot and Ankle for any foot care treatment.
