Welcome to McKenzie Foot & Ankle
Whether you’ve had a sudden sports or work injury, or foot pain that has bothered you for years, our team creates a customized treatment plan to resolve the problem and return you to an active, healthy lifestyle.
Our services
Most patients start with conservative treatment. When surgery is the right answer, it’s performed by board-certified foot and ankle surgeons.
The most common reason patients visit us. We find the cause of your heel pain and start with stretching programs, custom orthotics, injections and footwear changes before ever considering surgery.
Dr. McKenzie specializes in forefoot reconstruction with an emphasis on cosmetic results and less pain, including Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction, which addresses the unstable joint at the root of the bunion.
Bent, painful toes can make every shoe uncomfortable. We offer padding, splinting and footwear advice, and corrective procedures when toes become rigid.
From weekend athletes to student players, we treat sprains, fractures and tendon injuries quickly so you can return to your sport safely, and help prevent the next injury.
Reconstructive and trauma surgery for fractures, flat feet, arthritis and deformities, plus minimally invasive procedures performed right in our office for a faster recovery.
Regular diabetic foot exams, neuropathy care and advanced wound treatment with biologic skin substitutes to help slow-healing wounds close and protect your limbs.
Orthotics built from precise digital scans of your feet, made to support your arches, take pressure off painful areas and correct how you walk.
On-site digital x-ray lets your doctor see what’s happening inside your foot during the same visit, so diagnosis and your treatment plan don’t wait.
Gentle care for children’s foot problems, and quick relief for everyday conditions like ingrown toenails, fungal nails, warts, corns and calluses.
Lapiplasty® Center of Distinction
Many traditional bunion procedures shave the bump and leave the unstable joint behind. Lapiplasty® 3D Bunion Correction realigns and stabilizes the joint at the base of the big toe. Dr. McKenzie is trained in the procedure, and our practice was recognized by Treace Medical as a Lapiplasty Center of Distinction.
Conditions we treat
Pick an area of the foot or search by name. We treat 33 foot and ankle conditions for patients of every age.
