Dr. Henne and myself, Dr. McGowan, are dedicated foot and ankle surgeons. Telemedicine is now an option for all patients that either have a genuine valid fear of becoming sick and for those whose immune systems may put them at higher risk in a waiting room situation. Your doctors offices should be working on more proactive steps like curbside check in reducing your interaction in a waiting room setting. This decreases your chances of being in close contact with those that may not even know they are sick or contagious. We are podiatrist that practice in Florida but according to the new legislation that may be passed today we will able to help patient across state lines. If your podiatrist cancels your appointment but you have questions we would be happy to help you!
Much of what we do in our profession, we actually need to see the patient because palpating and sometimes X-rays are very necessary as well as in office procedures that can't be performed over the phone. However, there are many foot and ankle problems that patients may be able to have a conversation via phone, email interaction or Skype session with one of our doctors to help. We can prescribe and even write for X-rays to be performed in a location closest to your home and that can be by appointment only.
We would love to help your feet feel better and keep you safe all at the same time. We are completely set up for Telemedicine in our practice. You are more than welcome to call our office and set up an appointment with our office staff at 352-242-2502 to make an appointment. Or visit our website at centeranklefootcare.com and request an appointment or you can email anklefootcare1@gmail.com to request an appointment. Dr. Henne and I will also, as of tomorrow, have after hour and weekend appointments for Telemedicine.
We wish everyone health and wellness as we continue to do what we love, to help people feel better and keep people moving!
Best of luck and good health wishes from our family to yours!
