5 Reasons to Call Our Podiatrists for Urgent Care

Who should you call in Monmouth County if you’ve injured your foot or ankle? You’ve got choices, so if you’ve hurt yourself on the track, on the court, or simply walking the dog and you need urgent care, where should you start? Before you decide to hobble into the emergency room, consider a call to Affiliated Foot & Ankle Center. Here are five excellent reasons to make that choice:

1. Board-certified podiatrists. Podiatrists are medical doctors who undergo specialized training in all aspects of the feet and ankles. We’ve got four expert physicians on staff, all of whom will treat you with care and respect, whether you’re 5 or 95 years old.

2. Easy to connect. Our office hours include evenings and Saturdays. We’re always on call, 24/7. We make it simple to schedule an appointment online via our website, and our dedicated staff will help you arrange to see our podiatrists at one of our offices in either Howell or Jackson.

3. All-in-one treatment. You’ll get good care at a hospital emergency room for a foot or ankle injury, but they’ll probably patch you up and tell you to follow up with a doctor. Come straight to us for immediate advice from expert physicians who specialize in the foot and ankle. No matter what your injury is, we can handle it here in our office - from simple sprains to broken bones.

4. One-stop shopping. If you need an x-ray, an expert to read the x-ray, an ortho shoe, ankle brace, crutches, Kinesio taping, or a compression bandage, we supply it all. There’s no need to go anywhere else, so we save you time, money, and hassle. In addition, since many foot and ankle injuries benefit from physical therapy, you’ll be happy to know we’ve got a physical therapist on staff who specializes in foot and ankle rehabilitation. Finally, if your injury is severe enough to require surgery, we can perform that as well.

5. Concern for the environment. We’re proud to maintain a “green” practice, taking advantage of electronic records and recycling as many office materials as possible, such as glass, plastic, and paper.

We know you’ve got choices when it comes to urgent medical care. Call Dr. Samantha Boyd, Dr. Hal Ornstein, Dr. Dan Phan, and Dr. Joseph Saka for excellence in foot and ankle treatment. Contact us online or call (732) 905-1110.
