The Doc Is In... In YOUR Office that is!

San Francisco's First Podiatry HouseCalls Practice

Many think of "Concierge Medicine" as an elitist service reserved for the filthy rich. However, many primary care doctors and even some specialists (myself included) have moved to this healthcare provider model to simply provide better, more personal service, and more affordable care.

To this end, we offer expert care on your schedule. Who has time to wait in traffic, then wait in the "waiting room" at the doctor's office. To add insult to injury, most patients are then treated to another wait in the hidden waiting room (sometimes called a treatment room).

Who can cancel a half day at work for a little heel pain?

The idea of cost-effective concierge care is to save you (the patient) time, money and trouble. Your concierge doc can come to you, making a house call. That way you can "wait" for the doctor at your office while you work on your computer or make some phone calls.

If your child has an ingrown toenail, why not watch TV or read a book at home while you "wait" for the doctor to come to your home.

The truth is that most common foot and ankle problems, like heel pain, ingrown toenails, painful thick fungal toenails and plantar warts can all be treated during a house call.

So next time you or your loved on has an emergency foot problem, let the foot doctor wait in traffic. Yep, the podiatrist will come right to you!
