Fred O. Kussel, DPM
"Healthy feet are the foundation
for whole-body health and wellness. Prevention and early treatment
of foot problems will help you enjoy an active life.
As an experienced podiatrist, I believe that foot pain is not
normal and should not be accepted as just a part of life. I am a
trained foot and ankle surgeon, yet experienced in the best
non-surgical care as well. I keep in mind the comfort of my
patients and the demands of their lifestyles and jobs.
I believe that informed patients are better prepared to make
decisions regarding their health and well-being. Communication is
very important in the total care of the patient. Understanding
about you and your lifestyle, occupational demands on your feet,
exercise and nutrition are important for us to help you get
better.
My goal is to help you avoid having to take time off from work or
play. I am trained in the best treatments available while always
remembering that time proven treatments are also valuable." -
