- Primary CareDr. Nagler’s main concern with elderly patients is when underlying health issues become a problem. It is imperative to ensure that every patient no matter their age, is healthy enough to undergo and the surgical procedure. All patients are required to be evaluated by their physician and provide a history of any previous health issues. Your primary care physician along with Dr. Nagler can assist you in determining if you are healthy enough to have the surgery.
- Internal MedicineA podiatrist must complete four years of podiatric medical school which is followed by residency. During residency, podiatric residents rotate through core areas of medicine such as internal medicine, infectious disease, plastic surgery, general surgery, vascular surgery, and of course podiatry surgery. During these rotations physicians and surgeons train residents in foot and ankle surgery, including both clinical and surgical situations.

- UltrasoundDoctor Sherman Nagler and Dr. Bryan Lee are proud to provide in-office diagnostic ultrasound procedures for their patients. Ultrasound serves as the critical counterpart to what X-ray affords in assessing bone trauma, allowing us to accurately view and monitor pathologies involving muscles, tendons, ligaments, and other soft-tissue.
- MRIUnmistakable clarification of the presence of foreign bodies often missed entirely under MRI and invisible to X-ray. (Indeed, having the ability to avoid unnecessary MRI’s is one of the foremost advantages of being able to offer ultrasound to our patients. Our doctors can ascertain the majority of soft-tissue pathologies right then and there, in the office, rather than having to refer you out, like most podiatrists, for a costly, time-consuming MRI.)

- ArthroscopyArthroscopy of the ankle and small joints of the foot is a relatively new tool in the armament of the foot and ankle surgery.

- Bunion SurgeryThe treatment for a bunion depends upon the severity of the deformity and the pain. It is essential to undergo bunion surgery if you have these issues and have consulted with a podiatrist. The earlier you deal with this disease the better off you will be, because they can become very painful.
- Joint ReplacementIn many cases, reconstructive foot surgery may require tendon repair or transfer, fusion of bones, joint replacement, bone or skin grafting, and precise osteotomies in order to repair or correct congenital or acquired deformities. Bone screws, pins, wires, staples, and other fixation devices and casts may be utilized to stabilize and repair bone in reconstructive procedures.
- BunionsHaving bunions are painful and can affect your everyday life. Bunionectomies are performed on thousands of people each year, with the majority being left with unsightly scars. Dr. Nagler after many years of research and receiving feedback from his patents has perfected the Unique Cosmetic Incision. Dr. Nagler’s patients are able to be pain free while having minimal visible scaring. The main reason why people come from all over the world to see Dr. Nagler is to undergo a bunionectomy using this unique cosmetic incision.

- Toe SurgeryThe goal of treatment is to reduce or eliminate the symptoms in the toe, so that you can maintain your normal lifestyle. Although some patients may not receive complete relief, it is expected that the vast majority will gain significant improvement from therapy. Treatment may be surgical or nonsurgical. Nonsurgical treatment is often attempted before surgical intervention. Your podiatric surgeon will decide the appropriate method of therapy for you. Conservative treatment for an intermetatarsal neuroma usually includes modifying shoes, orthoses or arch supports. These conservative therapies may provide complete, partial or no relief of symptoms. The decision of toe surgery is based on your symptoms, the judgment of your podiatric surgeon and your preference. A neurectomy or surgical removal of a neuroma is performed when conservative treatment proves ineffective.

- CornsHouston Foot Specialists (Dr. Nagler’s Foot Center in Houston) has a proven track record of achievement when it comes to corns treatment in Houston. Corns are hyperkeratoses of the skin. Corns normally form on the toes, where the bone is prominent and presses the skin against the shoe, ground, or other bones. As a corn becomes thick the tissues under the corn are subject to enhanced irritation. There might be a deep seated nucleation; this is like a core where the corn is thickest and most painful. As foot or toe corns become inflamed, there is pain and at times swelling and redness. Common places where corns form are namely on the top surface of the toe, at the tip of the toe and also between the toes.
- Cyst
- CallusesAn overgrowth of the bone occurring alone or along with hammertoe is called bone spur. Corn, calluses, and pain are the symptoms of the problem. If left untreated, a bone spur will result in bursitis and small skin ulceration.

- Physical TherapyConservative treatments are recommended in stages I and II. In the acute or early stages, treatment is directed at reducing inflammation and removing stress to the tendon in the hope that the damaged tendon will heal. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) may be beneficial in providing pain relief and in reducing inflammation. Oral steroids may be indicated for short-term treatment of the acute inflammation in some patients. Physical therapy may be utilized to resolve inflammation and to strengthen the tendon. Often immobilization may be required with a cast, cam-walker, or braces.
