About Us

Dr. Robert Califano and Dr. Brighid Lodge provide a full range of services for the treatment of foot disorders for both children and adults. Some of the more common conditions seen include heel and arch pain, bunions, arthritis, ganglions, hammertoes, sprains, fractures, ingrown nails, nerve entrapments, tendonitis and warts. Diabetic foot care is also available. The doctors will always pursue conservative therapy initially for these conditions. Treatment modalities may include supportive tape strappings, oral medications, injections, casting or custom orthotics. However if these approaches are unsuccessful, surgery may be indicated. Surgery is commonly performed on an outpatient basis.
