At South Texas Podiatrist, we believe that a doctor and patient become a team for treating an individual’s feet. Our physicians spend most of their time listening to understand your concerns and responding with the best treatment options for you. With the help of our professional staff, they also follow up to make sure that generally pain is relieved, problems are resolved and your health improves.
Dr. Ed Davis is a podiatrist with over 25 year of experience treating foot and ankle problems. He believes that foot and ankle problems are most effectively treated when the diagnosis and treatment is focused on the cause of the problem as opposed to treating symptoms. Podiatry is a profession which grew based on the concept of keeping people on their feet during treatment as much as possible, minimizing time loss, and minimizing disability. Active patients recover faster from foot problems and are less likely to have the problems recur.
In a world of specialists, everybody wants to see the expert. The same goes for fractures, sprains, arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, work-related injuries, and a host of other musculoskeletal disorders. When you’re in pain, you want the best care possible.
