Dr. Connie Bills is the best podiatrist I have ever gone to. She always did excellent diabetic foot care on my husband and also diagnosed my foot problem immediately. She is excellent and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Bunions
Toe Surgery
Hammertoes are toes that have become contracted and have a prominent knuckle on top. Usually these can be accommodated with a deeper toe shoe (for a ladies oxford I like SAS Freetime). When toe surgery is necessary, part of the knuckle is removed and the toe straightens out again. I like this surgery if the patient is ulcerating at the tip of the toe due to pressure or has recurrent pressure on the top of the toe.
Ingrown Toenails
I like to trim nails straight across in most cases. The only exception is fungal toenails. These nails are deformed and many times loose, so need to be cut differently. If you have nail edges that seem to grow down on the edges you probably have ingrown toenails and need to have the edges permanently removed. If you want to try to avoid the procedure keep the sides grown out past the skin folds and apply Vaseline to the edges if they get tough.

Cyst
Fungus
As a podiatrist I see a lot of fungus. Usually the fungus affects either the skin or the toenails but can affect both. Treatment for skin infections is treatable with oral antifungals (terbinafine) or topical creams. Treatment for nails is not a 100% cure and is limited to oral antifungal therapy. Generally I see full resolution in patients under the age of 75. Treatment is much more effective when the patient has no other major health problems.
Lesions
Warts are caused by Human Papilloma Virus or HPV. There are many different strains of the virus, but one thing remains constant: once you have it you can't get rid of it. Treatment of warts varies from topical treatments to freezing to cutting them out. These lesions are hard to treat and can recur spontaneously once they are gone! Unfortunately we have no "cure-all" for warts, but research will continue until there is a cure. If you have a wart or think you do, early treatment is less costly than waiting, so make an appointment today!

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
+ Inflammation of the plantar fascia which is a ligament on the bottom of the foot. This condition is treated by supporting the ligament with an arch support and wearing supportive shoes. Physical therapy, injections and bracing are some additional therapies that can be used if conservative care does not resolve the issue.
Heel Pain
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
Bunions Problems
Bunions are a bony deformity occurring at the great toe joint. These are usually hereditary but can also be brought on by trauma. Treatment is conservative, with shoe gear changes (lace up, wide forefoot) and orthotic devices. If conservative treatment fails and the patient is having pain on a daily basis, the condition may require surgical correction.
Hammertoes
Neuroma is a term for an irritated nerve at the ball of the foot close to the sulcus area (the pocket behind the toes). This is usually associated with a hammertoe, and the toe contracture is pulling on the nerve while the patient walks. In addition to the pulling, the nerve is being rubbed against a ligament that runs across the ball of the foot. This condition can also be caused by a traumatic flexing of the toes. Usually the treatment consists of a simple metatarsal pad. Patients usually get 80 - 100% relief unless their neuroma has been around longer than 2 months. Injections usually aren't required. Excision of the affected nerve is usually curative when conservative treatment isn't helpful. The surgery will leave the toes numb but without pain. This surgery is not frequently required but it is effective.
Heel Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are sometimes caused by heredity, shoes that are too constricting, or blunt trauma. The nail edge becomes painful and may even start to drain fluid. The treatment is removing the offending nail edge. A chemical is applied to the nail "root" or matrix to prevent the nail edge from growing back. Healing takes 3 - 4 weeks.
