General Practitioners

Warts
Arthritis
Flat foot tends to run in families. An individual may be born with flat feet, or they can be caused by nerve issues, rheumatoid arthritis, damaged tendons or an injury. Those with flat feet should avoid high-impact sports like running and basketball.
Fibromyalgia
The most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes. Other causes include heredity, advanced age, arthritis, certain medications, alcoholism, injury and neurological disorders like fibromyalgia and spina bifida.
Plantar Fasciitis
Orthotics are effective in treating foot problems like plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendonitis and heel, foot and ankle pain.
Cryotherapy
Using liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart. This is also called cryotherapy. The area will be numbed to reduce pain. The dead tissue will come off in a few weeks.
Emergency Care
For a serious break, or if your pain and swelling persists after a day or two and you still have difficulty walking, get to your foot doctor or emergency room right away.
Diabetic Foot Care

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
To diagnose peripheral arterial disease, we will do a physical exam to check your pulse and blood pressure. The Ankle-brachial index (ABI) test is useful as it compares the blood pressure in your arm with the blood pressure in your ankle. Other tests such as ultrasound and an angiogram can confirm our diagnosis.
MRI
Your podiatrist will assess your injury with imaging tests such as an X-ray. An ultrasound or MRI can help diagnose stress fractures as well as soft tissue injuries.
X-Rays

Wound Care
Originally from Lowell, Massachusetts, Dr. Ouellette is excited to return to his home state after receiving advanced training at the prestigious Yale-New Haven Hospital. He is passionate about improving patient outcomes with foot and ankle issues using innovative evidence-based techniques. Dr. Ouellette offers expertise in surgery (bunions, hammertoes), arthritis, flatfeet, heel and joint pain, fungal toenails, wound care, and complications with peripheral vascular disease/diabetes. He also enjoys treating athletes with sports injuries allowing them to resume competitive activity. When creating a personalized treatment plan, Dr. Ouellette collaborates with his patients and their other medical providers to enable his patients to achieve greater health.
Ankle Surgery
He obtained his Bachelor of Science in Biology at The University of Massachusetts Amherst. He then completed his medical education at New York College of Podiatric Medicine, earning his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree. He was accepted to Yale-New Haven Hospital Foot and Ankle Surgery residency program and ultimately served as Chief Resident, completing comprehensive training specializing in foot & ankle reconstruction and limb salvage. Dr. Ouellette is an associate of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS), American Podiatric Medicine Association (APMA) and is board qualified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS).
Bunion Surgery
Metatarsal Surgery
Bunions
Bunions can cause severe pain because this big toe joint carries much of the body’s weight. Bunions run in families because of an inherited foot type that includes poor foot mechanics. Wearing tight or narrow shoes can aggravate the bunion. Those with flat feet or low arches are prone to bunions, as are people with arthritis or inflammatory joint disease.
Gangrene
If you have leg pain or weakness, visit your foot doctor right away. PAD can cause complications such as heart attack, stroke and critical limb ischemia that can lead to gangrene and amputation.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are nails where the corners or sides grow into the nearby soft tissue. The big toe is the most common location, but any toenail may become ingrown.
Reconstructive Surgery
Patients with functional or balance problems, serious pain, deformity, congenital defects or disease may need reconstructive surgery. A reconstructive procedure can include bone fusion, joint implantation, bone grafting, tumor excision, amputation, soft tissue repair or tendon repair.

Plastic Surgeons

Hammertoe Surgery
For hammertoe surgery, the foot surgeon removes a portion of the bone to realign the toe. This surgery may also fuse the toe joints.

Skin Cancer
Your feet and ankles are vulnerable to skin cancer – even the soles of your feet. Certain types of skin cancer are unrelated to sun exposure.
Corns
A corn forms when two toes rub together, causing thicker skin with inflamed tissue underneath. Corns between the toes have soft cores, while those on the top of a toe are hard corns.
Ulcer
Early recognition of problems such as an ulcer, along with regular foot screenings by a podiatrist, can help reduce the risk of lower limb amputation by up to 85%.
Calluses
Accommodative orthotics provide cushioning and support and can help treat diabetic foot ulcers and painful calluses.
Eczema
Squamous Cell Carcinoma. These are the most common form in the feet and don’t spread in early stages. The growths can be itchy and may resemble a plantar wart, eczema, and ulcer or a fungal infection.
Fungus
Athlete’s foot is a very unpleasant skin disease caused by a fungus. The infection often appears between the toes but can occur in other areas of the foot. Other areas of the body may also be affected if you scratch the area and then touch other spots.
Rashes

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Dr. Sax is board certified and academically active, having contributed to multiple publications in peer reviewed journals, online editorials, and nationally recognized poster symposiums. He has contributed to textbook chapters on subjects including bunion surgery and onychomycosis (nail fungus), and has special interests in minimally invasive techniques and sports medicine.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy will help. Strengthening and stretching exercises and massage will restore the plantar fascia’s flexibility.

Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis causes pain and swelling in the area. The pain and stiffness may be worst in the morning. Pain at the back of the heel worsens with activity and may be severe the day after exercising.
Bunions Problems
A bunion is a bump on the base of the big toe joint. Bunions are caused when the bone at the joint moves and bends toward the other toes. The big toe may even overlap the others as this movement continues.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot manufacture or properly use insulin. The body then is unable to convert sugars and starches into energy, leaving an elevated amount of blood sugar. Too much glucose in the bloodstream can damage the feet, heart, kidney, eyes and nerves.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
A toenail fungus will get under the surface of the nail where it takes hold and may even spread to other toenails. Left untreated, the infection may make it difficult to walk and work. The thicker toenails are hard to trim and make it painful to wear shoes.
Geriatric Foot Care
Hammertoes
Rarely, when these conservative measures don’t resolve the pain or if there are other complications such as hammertoe, we may discuss surgery with you to realign the metatarsal bones.
Heel Spurs
Heel spur. A heel spur is a bony growth on the bottom of the heel bone caused by muscle or ligament strain or tearing of the membrane that covers the heel bone.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail may be caused by improper trimming of the nail where the corners are curved. Heredity may play a part as can pressure on the toes from crowding or tight shoes.
Metatarsalgia
Custom-fitted orthotics and metatarsal pads can help eliminate the abnormal pressure or friction that caused the metatarsalgia.
Pediatric Foot Care
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel bone to the toes. This tissue helps to form the foot’s arch.
Podiatric Deformities
Foot deformities, irritation from pressure or friction such as from wearing inappropriate shoes, and trauma can cause the formation of ulcers too.
Podiatric Surgery
A tendon rupture or other serious injury may require tendon surgery. This surgery is helpful for chronic conditions as well as acute injuries. Post-Operative Care Each foot surgery will require unique after-care for an uneventful recovery. Basically, at-home treatment after surgery includes RICE, or rest, icing, compression and elevation. Splints, casts, surgical shoes and bandages may be necessary. Your podiatrist will assess the degree of weight-bearing, if any, that is appropriate based on you and your surgery. Crutches or canes may be necessary. For the best post-surgical outcome, follow all post-operative instructions as recommended by your doctor carefully.
