A bunion (also referred to as hallux valgus or hallux abducto valgus) is often described as a bump on the side of the big toe. But a bunion is more than that. The visible bump actually reflects changes in the bony framework of the front part of the foot.
Heel pain is most often caused by plantar fasciitis, a condition that is sometimes also called heel spur syndrome when a spur is present. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst.
Ingrown toenails are due to the penetration of the edges of the nail plate into the soft tissue of the toe. It begins with a painful irritation that often becomes infected.
Corns and calluses are areas of thick skin that result from excessive pressure or friction over a boney prominence. When these areas develop on the bottom of the foot they are called calluses.
Hammertoe is a contracture (bending) of one or both joints of the second, third, fourth, or fifth (little) toes. This abnormal bending can put pressure on the toe when wearing shoes, causing problems to develop.
A neuroma is a thickening of nerve tissue that may develop in various parts of the body. The most common neuroma in the foot is a Morton's neuroma, which occurs between the third and fourth toes. It is sometimes referred to as an intermetatarsal neuroma.
A prescription foot orthosis is an in-shoe brace which is designed to correct for abnormal foot and lower extremity function (the lower extremity includes the foot, ankle, leg, knee, thigh and hip).
The common wart is known as verruca vulgaris. They are caused by a viral infection of the skin. This occurs as a result of direct contact with the virus. They do not spread through the blood stream. They occur more commonly in children than adults.
With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Robinson has seen and treated a multitude of conditions both common and rare. Most foot conditions have treatment options. Dr. Robinson will explain these so you can decide what's best for you.
Our office utilizes the latest, most effective and safe technologies to treat painful foot and ankle disorders. Podiatrists are foot specialists who have spent years studying and preparing to care for your unique feet.

"Dr. Robinson is THE BEST! She performed bunionectomy and Morton's neuroma surgery and I had NO pain. She is gentle and skilled and keeps her word. She has successfully treated plant fasciitis. I recommend her heartily!"
"I was at my wit's end with plantar fasciitis. One year of pain, cortisone, and physical therapy that only made it worse. I could hardly walk. Then someone recommended Dr. Robinson to me. Three weeks later, under Dr. Robinson's care, I was recovered and walking all over Spain with my family."
"She diagnosed my problem right away and fixed it. She is Honest, Smart, Experienced and I felt she had my best interests at heart. I had been to another Podiatrist and all she wanted to do was sell me stuff that I knew I would not use. Best Podiatrist in California."
