General Practitioners

Arthritis
Individuals suffering from bunions often report wearing high heels and other tight-fitting shoes. Genetics also appear to play a role in bunion growth as it’s common for these deformities to run in families. Other contributing factors include injuries and other foot problems that lead to inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is characterized by inflammation of this area. It can cause heel pain and/or pain in the arch of the foot, most often after long periods of inactivity. Arching the toes and foot toward the shin may also provoke pain in those suffering from plantar fasciitis. The pain typically grows gradually, but sudden bouts of extreme pain may also occur.
Medical Weight Loss
Arch pain treatments and those specifically for plantar fasciitis are usually non-invasive. We often start with simple treatments, including rest, ice, heat, orthotics, and strengthening exercises. If pain persists, we may recommend physical therapy, weight loss, and/or anti-inflammatory drugs. And if necessary, surgery is also an option.
Primary Care
Please bring your insurance card, as we will need to make a copy of it for our records. If your insurance plan requires a referral from your primary care physician, please make sure you obtain one prior to your appointment with us.

Ultrasound
To better help you, our podiatrists can provide ultrasound and X-ray services in the office, so you don’t have to go to a hospital for testing.
MRI
The staff may make a hands-on examination of your foot and ankle, and may also observe you as you walk. X-rays and MRI scans are often not required during an evaluation.

Bunion Surgery
For more serious cases, bunion surgery may be necessary. The surgical procedure may simply realign the big toe joint or remove the growth without aligning the joint. And in some cases, the joint may be removed entirely and replaced screws or metal plates.
Bunions
Bunions are bony bumps that can develop on the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, that connects your big toe to your foot. These growths often cause the big toe to turn in toward the other toes. Although bunions are not life-threatening, they can be painful and affect your ability to walk comfortably. Smaller bunions, or bunionettes, can develop on the little toe and result in similar discomfort.
Ingrown Toenails
The staff at Great Lakes Foot & Ankle Centers treats ingrown toenails when they are a recurring problem, or if they pose a greater health threat through infection.
Reconstructive Surgery
Dr. Patel is a primary foot and ankle specialist at Great Lakes Foot and Ankle Centers. She is a graduate of Loyola University Chicago at Chicago and attended medical school at Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. After completing a 3-year residency in forefoot and rearfoot ankle reconstructive surgery in Chicago, IL at the Rush University Medical Center program; she thereafter practiced in Valparaiso, Indiana for two years and now has permanently moved to Wisconsin to practice medicine. Dr. Patel is Board Qualified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgeons in forefoot and rearfoot ankle reconstructive surgery.

Corns
Bunions themselves can be painful all on their own. But they can also lead to complications that only make matters worse. One such complication, bursitis, involves the inflammation of the fluid-filled sacs that normally cushion the bones adjacent to your joints. Corns, hardened layers of skin that the body produces to protect itself from excessive friction, are also common.
Calluses
Fungus
Keeping your feet clean is the easiest way to prevent athlete’s foot. To do so, wash your feet with soap and water every day. Because the fungus grows best in moist environments, avoid tight-fitting footwear, especially when working out. It’s also important to fully dry your feet after bathing or exercising.

Dr. Bostanche enjoys using his expertise and experience to discuss the best treatment options available with his patients and working with them for a successful outcome.
Flat Feet
Hammertoes
, another complication, is characterized by an atypical bend in the middle joint of a toe. It’s common for this complication to affect the toe directly next to your big toe. When caught early, hammertoes are very treatable conditions. But if they’re given time to develop, even surgical interventions may be ineffective.
Heel Spurs
Foot conditions such as plantar fasciitis, high arches, neuroma, heel spurs, and posterior tibial tendonitis can have a huge disruption on your daily life. After evaluating your foot or heel pain, we will develop a customized treatment option for you.

Foot Infections
Athlete’s foot has a number of distinct visual characteristics. So in many cases, our podiatrists can diagnose such foot infections simply by looking at them. In some cases, our staff may take a scraping from your skin and grow a culture. Or the doctors may perform a separate skin scraping for examination under the microscope.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are a relatively simple irritation that can lead to infection and bacterial invasion. For diabetics and people who have joint replacements or pacemakers, they can become a danger.
Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia is another common complication for individuals suffering from bunions. Affecting the ball of your foot, metatarsalgia often causes sharp or burning pains. In many cases, resting or icing the foot will relieve the pain. Wearing shoes with arch supports or shock-absorbing insoles can also help.
Foot Orthotics
The staff at Great Lakes Foot & Ankle Centers treats heel pain through a number of approaches, including simple at-home exercises and functional foot orthotics.
Plantar Fasciitis
