Helping diabetics rest their feet and ease their fears.
Dr. Mooney is trained and skilled in the
management of diabetic feet. This includes hands-on fellowship training in diabetic
lower extremity reconstruction and limb
salvage. Trained in high-risk care, he takes
special steps to help guard you against infections, foot ulcers and damage caused by poor circulation... including teaching you the latest ways to care for your condition. He’s also

Find lasting relief
from chronic heel pain.
Painful lumps, or heel spurs, can grow behind or under the heel bone, and we have the capabilities to relieve this pain quickly and easily, often without surgery. Dr. Mooney can use a combination of custom orthotics, physical therapy and/or medication to help you walk comfortably again.
