Comprehensive Podiatry Services for Capitol Hill Patients
Seattle Foot and Ankle Center provides a full range of podiatric medical and surgical services designed to diagnose, treat, and prevent foot and ankle conditions.
Our services include both conservative and surgical treatments depending on your condition.
Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis Treatment
Heel pain is one of the most common reasons patients visit a podiatrist. Conditions such as plantar fasciitis can cause significant discomfort with walking or standing. Dr. Hoy provides evidence-based treatment options including orthotics, physical therapy recommendations, and other therapies designed to relieve pain and restore function.
Ingrown Toenail Treatment
Painful ingrown toenails can develop due to improper nail trimming, tight shoes, or genetics. Our clinic provides quick in-office procedures that relieve pain and prevent recurring infection.
Bunion and Hammertoe Care
Structural deformities such as bunions and hammertoes can lead to pain, difficulty wearing shoes, and progressive joint problems. Dr. Hoy provides both conservative treatment and advanced surgical options when needed.
Sports Medicine and Foot Injuries
Runners, athletes, and active individuals often develop foot and ankle injuries related to repetitive stress. Our practice treats conditions such as tendonitis, stress fractures, and ligament injuries to help patients safely return to activity.
Custom Prescription Orthotics
Many foot problems are related to abnormal biomechanics or foot structure. Custom orthotics are medical devices designed to support the foot, improve walking mechanics, and relieve pain.
Diabetic Foot Care and Wound Treatment
Patients with diabetes are at increased risk for serious foot complications. Our clinic provides careful monitoring, wound care, and preventive treatment to protect foot health and preserve mobility.
