When Foot and Ankle Surgery Is Needed

Established NJ/PA Podiatry Practice Advocates Healthy Feet and Ankles

Our communities in NJ and PA are fortunate to have nine of the most highly qualified, licensed, and board-certified podiatrists looking after and treating feet and ankles around our communities.

The Foot and Ankle Group leads podiatry services in four locations: Bordentown, Columbus, and Mount Laurel, NJ, and Philadelphia, PA, for foot and ankle surgical interventions when all noninvasive treatments fail to improve your condition or pain.

Our doctors say treating feet and ankle problems with noninvasive treatments is great. However, there may be instances when this is not enough to care for your foot or ankle problem. We will explain what conditions may warrant surgical intervention or when noninvasive treatments prove unsuccessful in correcting your foot or ankle problem.
