Lisfranc Injury

The midfoot is an important structure within the foot that assists in absorbing forces that come from activities like walking, running and jumping. When patients come see us here at Dallas Podiatry Works and need treatment for a midfoot injury, they often have one of the common Lisfranc injuries. In severe cases, these injuries can […]

Black Toenails

When a body part is a different color than normal, it can be a clear indication that something is wrong. Such is the case with black toenails. In this condition, the soft tissue in your nailbed has either become bruised, started bleeding (subungual hematoma), or is possibly displaying a sign of cancer. Fortunately, most of […]

Alternative Low-Impact Exercises

Running is a natural choice when it comes to exercises for burning calories and improving your cardiovascular health. There are certainly an abundance of benefits to be had from this endeavor, but it is high-impact and places stressful forces on your feet and ankles. When you are working out to get into—or stay in—shape, the last […]

Fungal Toenails: Easy Elimination

Usually it starts small—perhaps just a corner of one little toenail. It seems brittle and distorted, but you may not think much of it. As time goes on, however, and the problem becomes more obvious, you can’t help but pay attention. If this sounds familiar, chances are high that you have developed a fungal nail […]

Ingrown Toenails: Toe Protectors Turned Attackers

Have you ever dropped something sharp on your foot, or stepped on something pointed? It hurts to damage your feet like that—especially if the object that harmed you pierced the skin.

The doctor has great “bedside manners” when talking to patients. Great staff and comfortable atmosphere.

The staff at Dallas Podiatry Works could not have been more courteous, helpful, and professional in doing their job. They made me feel comfortable when I was there, which is certainly appreciated. They answered all the questions that I had and just made each visit the most pleasurable that it could be. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing this type of foot care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Brook to anyone with foot problems–especially problems that stump other podiatrists. He really is very caring and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Joel Brook and the staff were nice and helpful. Though I was a new patient, I got right in as soon as they were open in my preferred location. They diagnosed the problem and provided medicines along with a perfect gel bandage so I could keep exercising while my toes healed. My toes already hurt less and look a little better each day. If I have future issues, I will be a repeat customer. Here’s hoping I don’t, but at least I know my feet are in good hands.

I visited this office for an ingrown toe nail a few years ago. After seeing another doctor, who made it worse, he referred me to Dallas Podiatry Works. The doctor there was able to fix my problem. I’m not great with reviews, all I can tell you is that this doctor and staff will have you up and running or doing whatever it is you do in no time. You will be in great hands. You’d be a fool not to use this doctor. Now its time to visit him again for the other toe.
