Is Foot or Ankle Pain Controlling Your Life?

Meet Your Foot & Ankle Specialist

I’m Dr. Robert Joseph, and I specialize in solving complex foot problems. After years of practice, I’ve learned that foot problems rarely stay the same – they usually get worse. That’s why I’m passionate about early intervention and comprehensive treatment for conditions that can significantly impact your quality of life.

Which of These Foot Problems is Stealing Your Comfort?

There's this weird bump growing on my big toe...

Are you noticing a bony bump forming where your big toe meets your foot? Does it hurt when you wear certain shoes, or maybe all your shoes? That’s likely a bunion, and here’s what most people don’t realize – it’s not just going to stay the same size. Bunions are progressive, meaning they typically get worse over time without proper intervention.

Does your ankle feel unstable, especially on uneven surfaces? Are you dealing with recurring pain that seems to come and go without warning? You might be experiencing chronic ankle instability from previous sprains that never fully healed, or you could have an underlying condition that needs professional evaluation.

Do you experience that sharp, stabbing pain in your heel when you first get out of bed? Does it feel like someone’s driving a nail into the bottom of your foot with those first few steps? This classic symptom pattern often indicates plantar fasciitis – a condition that responds excellently to proper treatment but can become chronic without intervention.

Are you still dealing with heel pain that’s been diagnosed as plantar fasciitis, but nothing seems to help long-term? Here’s what you need to know: plantar fasciitis isn’t just “heel pain” – it’s a chronic, degenerative condition of the connective tissue supporting your foot’s arch.

Are you dealing with persistent foot pain that seems to have no clear cause? Has it been going on for months or even years? This could be a sign of chronic foot injury that needs comprehensive assessment.

Still have questions?

My Treatment Philosophy

Comprehensive assessment is foundational. Patients receive detailed clinical examinations, advanced gait analysis, and, if needed, state-of-the-art imaging to uncover every contributing factor—not just the obvious symptoms.

What a gem!! Dr. Joseph really knows his stuff and is on the forefront of podiatric surgery. He's constantly expanding his knowledge of best-practices and new technologies in his field. He's innovating, staying informed, doing all the things other hidebound podiatrists are apparently missing out on. I suffered from ankle destabilization for 18 months. Dr Jay fixed me up in a matter of weeks... I received synthetic Brostrom surgery and was walking on it, no boot, within 2-3 weeks of the operation. Five stars!
