I recently met the professionals at Ocean County Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates, and I was blown away with their compassionate, expert approach, as well as the dedicated precision they bring to diabetic foot and ankle care.

If you or a loved one suffers from diabetes, you know that it can cause foot, ankle and leg issues that can rapidly deteriorate if left untreated. This practice of highly skilled physicians with six convenient locations makes it easy to receive the care you need. Their state of the art facilities include vascular testing, a diabetic shoe program and everything in between. Their comprehensive approach will get you on the road to recovery. They are even opening a new location in Brick!

Their staff helped me to understand that diabetes isn't just about blood sugar and nutrition. It can lead to a number of foot, ankle and leg problems like nerve damage, poor circulation, calluses, skin issues and foot ulcers. Diabetics are vulnerable to developing infections in their feet, too, which could quickly become serious enough to require amputation.

Their team of board-certified foot and ankle surgeons take a comprehensive approach that can vastly improve your life (or the life of a loved one who has diabetes). Scheduling regular check-ups for your feet, ankle and legs is important, even if you aren’t experiencing any pain or other major symptoms.

After spending time with their staff and touring their office, I am confident Ocean County Foot & Ankle Surgical Associates is the local authority on diabetic foot, ankle and leg care, and if you or a loved one has diabetes, I encourage you to visit ocfasa.com or give them a call to see how they can help. The sooner you take action, the sooner you or your loved one can be on the path to a better quality of life.
