Foot and ankle care

When you choose Beacon for your care, you get specialists who are part of a national network of orthopedic care. Our orthopedic doctors specialize in ankle and foot care, and ankle replacement surgery. And you’ll be connected to the care you need through rehabilitation and recovery. Your specialist starts by listening to understand you and your pain. We provide a thorough evaluation and diagnosis, often starting with imaging, to help find the cause of your pain. Then, we work with you to create a care plan that’s right for you.

Diabetic wound care specialists
If you have a slow-healing wound, such as a diabetic foot ulcer, you will be connected to our team of wound care specialists. We understand how diabetes can affect wounds and impact your recovery. Your wound care team provides the care and support you need to help heal your wound.
Orthopedic surgical care for trauma injuries
Orthopedic surgeons deliver immediate care for serious injuries, such as fractured or crushed bones, dislocations, and other traumatic injuries. If immediate surgery is recommended as part of your care plan, you are connected to orthopedic trauma care for surgical care. After surgery, we connect you to other orthopedic specialists for follow-up care.
If you experience a life-threatening emergency, go directly to the nearest ER or call 911.
