It’s time to get back to our monthly Kare Bear Presents! Mark your calendars for September 26, 2018.
Kare Bears welcomes a podiatrist, Dr. Randall Lee Brower.
We are starting the season again with Dr. Randall Lee Brower. Dr. Brower has been practicing podiatrist medicine for over 15 years.
He specializes in treating trauma, foot and ankle deformities, sports injuries, heel pain, bunions, hammertoes and arthritic conditions of the foot and ankle. Dr. Brower went on to complete an intensive three-year foot and ankle trauma and reconstruction residency at Detroit Medical Center/Wayne State University. This is the most dedicated foot and ankle surgical residency available in the United States.
Foot and ankle problems can be due to chronic medical conditions like arthritis or diabetes, but even everyday situations, such as overuse or poorly fitting shoes, can lead to temporary, acute pain. You’re likely to get a speedier diagnosis and treatment recommendations from a podiatrist. Podiatrists provide a wide range of medical care for problems of the foot, ankle and lower leg. They diagnose and treat illnesses and perform surgery. There are some conditions in which a podiatrist can help you get back on your feet available in the United States available to a podiatrist and orthopedists. I have been watching on the e-blast for PC and there have been a lot of requests for referrals for a podiatrist. Learning about what they do and when you should be seen by a specialist for your feet and other related injuries will be information you can use now or possibly in the future.
Join us September 26, 2018 at the Eagle’s Nest Ballroom from 11:00 a.m.-noon.
Refreshments and attendance are free!
Coming soon!
