Foot & Ankle Specialtists

General Practitioners

Warts
Arthritis
Flat foot tends to run in families. An individual may be born with flat feet, or they can be caused by nerve issues, rheumatoid arthritis, damaged tendons or an injury. Those with flat feet should avoid high-impact sports like running and basketball.
Fibromyalgia
The most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes. Other causes include heredity, advanced age, arthritis, certain medications, alcoholism, injury and neurological disorders like fibromyalgia and spina bifida.
Plantar Fasciitis
Inflammation of the plantar fascia causes arch pain first thing in the morning when rising from bed as well as after long periods of standing. The pain from plantar fasciitis can be relieved with stretching exercises and anti-inflammatory medication. A night splint that keeps the tissue stretched can be helpful as can custom-fitted orthotics to redistribute pressure.
Cryotherapy
Using liquid nitrogen to freeze the wart. This is also called cryotherapy. The area will be numbed to reduce pain. The dead tissue will come off in a few weeks.
Pediatric Care
He is a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Pediatrics and a clinical instructor for Michigan State University. Dr. David has served as President of the Michigan Podiatric Medical Association Western Division. He is board certified in Foot and Ankle surgery and a diplomat of the American Board of Podiatric Surgery.
Emergency Care
For a serious break, or if your pain and swelling persists after a day or two and you still have difficulty walking, get to your foot doctor or emergency room right away.
Diabetic Foot Care
Having grown up playing sports, Dr. Sundling has an interest in sports medicine as well as many other aspects of podiatry, including diabetic foot care and surgery.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
To diagnose peripheral arterial disease, we will do a physical exam to check your pulse and blood pressure. The Ankle-brachial index (ABI) test is useful as it compares the blood pressure in your arm with the blood pressure in your ankle. Other tests such as ultrasound and an angiogram can confirm our diagnosis.
MRI
Your podiatrist will assess your injury with imaging tests such as an X-ray. An ultrasound or MRI can help diagnose stress fractures as well as soft tissue injuries.
X-Rays

Wound Care
This full-service podiatric care center offers routine and wound care, as well as treatment for trauma of foot and ankle. Conveniently located with handicap parking, this location offers state-of-the-art exam rooms and a retail area.
Ankle Surgery
We have five locations across the West Michigan area, from the Lake Shore to Grand Rapids to Holland. Each of our offices offers excellent lower extremity care to patients of all ages, including physical therapy and foot & ankle surgery.
Bunion Surgery
Bunion surgery to relieve the pain of a bunion and reposition the joint. Recovery time can be lengthy and involve a cast with crutches.
Metatarsal Surgery
Orthopedic Surgery
After graduating medical school, orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons complete a 5 year residency in orthopedic surgery, followed by a 1 year fellowship focusing on orthopedic foot and ankle. Board certification is granted following completion of training and certification exams.
Bunions
However, bunions will not go away – in fact, they will get larger and more painful without treatment. The earlier that podiatric treatment begins, the greater chance that your pain may be resolved without surgery.
Gangrene
If you have leg pain or weakness, visit your foot doctor right away. PAD can cause complications such as heart attack, stroke and critical limb ischemia that can lead to gangrene and amputation.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are nails where the corners or sides grow into the nearby soft tissue. The big toe is the most common location, but any toenail may become ingrown.
Reconstructive Surgery
Patients with functional or balance problems, serious pain, deformity, congenital defects or disease may need reconstructive surgery. A reconstructive procedure can include bone fusion, joint implantation, bone grafting, tumor excision, amputation, soft tissue repair or tendon repair.

Plastic Surgeons

Hammertoe Surgery
For hammertoe surgery, the foot surgeon removes a portion of the bone to realign the toe. This surgery may also fuse the toe joints.

Skin Cancer
Your feet and ankles are vulnerable to skin cancer – even the soles of your feet. Certain types of skin cancer are unrelated to sun exposure.
Corns
A corn forms when two toes rub together, causing thicker skin with inflamed tissue underneath. Corns between the toes have soft cores, while those on the top of a toe are hard corns.
Ulcer
A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that appears on the bottom of the foot and may lead to amputation if not treated quickly.
Calluses
Clubfoot can result in complications in later life such as arthritis, poor self-image, inability to walk correctly and foot sores or calluses.
Eczema
Squamous Cell Carcinoma. These are the most common form in the feet and don’t spread in early stages. The growths can be itchy and may resemble a plantar wart, eczema, and ulcer or a fungal infection.
Fungus
Athlete’s foot is a very unpleasant skin disease caused by a fungus. The infection often appears between the toes but can occur in other areas of the foot. Other areas of the body may also be affected if you scratch the area and then touch other spots.
Rashes

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
In addition to offering full podiatric services, Dr. Bergsma is often contacted to treat patients with sports injuries and provides preventative care for competitive athletes. He has also had the opportunity to join other Muskegon physicians and the University of Michigan to offer free medical and surgical treatment to a young boy from Lebanon.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy will help. Strengthening and stretching exercises and massage will restore the plantar fascia’s flexibility.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
Dr. Ritu Mathur, is a podiatry specialist. Dr. Mathur started a solo practice in 1994 in Holland MI and later joined MMPC, Lakeshore Health Partners followed by Holland Hospital. She joined Foot & Ankle Specialists in May of 2023.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis causes pain and swelling in the area. The pain and stiffness may be worst in the morning. Pain at the back of the heel worsens with activity and may be severe the day after exercising.
Bunions Problems
A bunion is a bump on the base of the big toe joint. Bunions are caused when the bone at the joint moves and bends toward the other toes. The big toe may even overlap the others as this movement continues.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot manufacture or properly use insulin. The body then is unable to convert sugars and starches into energy, leaving an elevated amount of blood sugar. Too much glucose in the bloodstream can damage the feet, heart, kidney, eyes and nerves.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
A toenail fungus will get under the surface of the nail where it takes hold and may even spread to other toenails. Left untreated, the infection may make it difficult to walk and work. The thicker toenails are hard to trim and make it painful to wear shoes.
Hammertoes
Sometimes a muscle imbalance causes a hammertoe, or a bending of the toe at the first joint. The bent toe looks like an upside-down “V”. The abnormal imbalance of muscles increases the pressure on the toe’s joints and tendons.
Heel Spurs
Heel spur. A heel spur is a bony growth on the bottom of the heel bone caused by muscle or ligament strain or tearing of the membrane that covers the heel bone.
Heel Pain
Ingrown Toenails
An ingrown toenail may be caused by improper trimming of the nail where the corners are curved. Heredity may play a part as can pressure on the toes from crowding or tight shoes.
Metatarsalgia
Pain in the ball of the foot, the area just behind the toes, is likely metatarsalgia, an inflammatory condition that causes pain in the mid-foot metatarsal bones.
Foot Warts
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot from the heel bone to the toes. This tissue helps to form the foot’s arch.
Podiatric Deformities
Foot deformities, irritation from pressure or friction such as from wearing inappropriate shoes, and trauma can cause the formation of ulcers too.
Podiatric Surgery
Dr. Rewitzer has teamed with the Healing the Children program to provide podiatric care to a young man from a the Dominican Republic. He is board certified in foot surgery and serves as a clinical assistant professor with Michigan State University. He continues to support the medical community of the lakeshore area by serving on physician committees both at the local hospitals and as a board member of Affinia Health.
