Foot and Ankle Care Starts Here

With convenient locations across Western New York, Kaleida Health podiatrists diagnose and treat a full range of foot and ankle conditions, from common concerns like bunions and heel pain to complex diabetic foot wounds and reconstructive surgery.

We begin with a thorough evaluation and a personalized treatment plan designed to relieve pain, improve function and prevent future complications.

When Should You See a Podiatrist?

Consider scheduling an appointment if you have:

  • Foot or ankle pain lasting more than a few days

  • Swelling or redness that does not improve

  • An open sore or wound on your foot

  • Changes in the shape of your foot or toes

  • Numbness or tingling

  • Difficulty walking or standing

Early treatment can prevent small problems from becoming serious conditions.

Conditions We Trea

Our podiatry specialists care for patients of all ages and treat a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Heel pain and plantar fasciitis

  • Bunions and hammertoes

  • Ingrown toenails

  • Corns and calluses

  • Flat feet and high arches

  • Achilles tendon injuries

  • Ankle sprains and instability

  • Arthritis of the foot and ankle

  • Sports-related foot and ankle injuries

  • Fractures and trauma

Advanced Diabetic Foot Care

For patients living with diabetes, foot care is especially important. Poor circulation and nerve damage can lead to wounds that heal slowly and increase the risk of serious complications.

Kaleida Health provides specialized diabetic foot care, including:
 

  • Preventive screenings and risk assessments
  • Treatment of diabetic ulcers and wounds
  • Infection management
  • Offloading techniques and custom orthotics
  • Limb preservation strategies
     

Our podiatrists work closely with primary care providers, endocrinologists and wound care specialists to protect your overall health and prevent avoidable hospitalizations.

Surgical and Minimally Invasive Options

When conservative treatments aren’t enough, our podiatric surgeons offer advanced surgical solutions designed to correct deformities, relieve pain and restore mobility.

Procedures may include:
 

  • Bunion and hammertoe correction
  • Ankle stabilization surgery
  • Tendon repair
  • Fracture repair
  • Reconstruction for severe deformities
  • Limb salvage procedures


Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time, minimize scarring and help you return to your daily activities sooner.

What You Can Expect from Your Care

Not every foot problem requires surgery. Many conditions can be treated with:

  • Custom orthotics

  • Bracing and immobilization

  • Physical therapy

  • Anti-inflammatory treatments

  • Advanced wound care

  • Lifestyle and footwear guidance

Your care plan will be tailored to your specific needs, lifestyle and goals.
