Toenails
We offer comprehensive treatment for toenail conditions, with a focus on relieving pain, restoring nail health, and preventing future issues.

Using a combination of conservative and advanced treatment options, we help patients improve nail appearance, reduce infection risk, and walk comfortably again.
Ankle Issues
We treat a wide range of ankle conditions for patients in McAllen and across the Rio Grande Valley — from everyday sprains to more serious injuries and infections. Whether you’ve suffered an Achilles tendon rupture, are dealing with a recurring ankle sprain, or are experiencing discomfort from athlete’s foot, our podiatry team provides expert evaluation and tailored treatment plans to support your recovery. We focus on restoring strength, reducing pain, and preventing long-term instability so you can return to your normal activities with confidence.
Heel & Foot Pain
Heel and foot pain can significantly impact your mobility and quality of life — and we’re here to help. Serving patients in McAllen and throughout the Rio Grande Valley, we treat a full spectrum of foot issues including plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes, flat feet, and Morton’s neuroma. We also address common skin-related concerns such as plantar warts, corns and calluses, and soft tissue masses. Our comprehensive care combines advanced diagnostics with personalized treatment plans to reduce pain, improve function, and get you back on your feet comfortably.
Fractures
Foot and ankle fractures require prompt and accurate treatment to ensure proper healing and long-term mobility. Our podiatry clinic in McAllen, TX provides expert care for a wide range of injuries, including foot fractures, ankle fractures, trauma-related injuries, and the commonly misdiagnosed fifth metatarsal fracture. We use advanced imaging and personalized treatment plans — whether surgical or non-surgical — to stabilize the injury, relieve pain, and support a full recovery. We’re here to help you heal quickly and safely, so you can return to your daily routine with confidence.
Wound Care & Diabetes
Diabetes can lead to serious foot complications if not properly managed. Our clinic in McAllen specializes in diabetic foot care and advanced wound treatment for patients across the Rio Grande Valley. We provide expert care for foot ulcers, chronic wounds, and severe infections such as osteomyelitis (bone infection). Our approach combines early diagnosis, targeted wound management, and long-term preventative strategies to protect limb health and prevent complications. Whether you’re managing an existing wound or seeking preventative diabetic foot care, our team is here to support your health every step of the way.
Custom Orthotics
Foot pain often starts with poor alignment or inadequate support — and custom orthotics can make all the difference. We design prescription-grade orthotics tailored to your foot shape, gait, and specific condition, whether you’re managing flat feet, heel pain, bunions, or chronic arch discomfort. Serving patients in McAllen and across the Rio Grande Valley, our clinic uses advanced scanning and biomechanical assessments to ensure a perfect fit. The result: improved posture, reduced pain, and long-term foot and ankle support for everyday comfort and performance.
