When Should You Take Your Child to a Podiatrist?

Parents make every effort to ensure that their children get the care and attention they need. The first haircut, the first visit to the dentist and first check-up are big milestones! What about children’s feet though? They may not be getting the attention they deserve.

Drs. Joel Brook, Arroyo, and McClurkin, foot specialists at Dallas Podiatry Works treat patients of all ages. We see many children come through our doors with minor to major foot and ankle problems. Healthy feet are important to the overall health in adults and children alike. Foot pain is not normal so here are a few reasons your child may need their first visit to a podiatrist:

You notice a decline in their activity level or they are sitting out often
You notice a limp while they walk or an abnormality in their gait while walking or running
They complain of their shoes being uncomfortable
They complain of foot pain while at rest or during activity

If your child needs foot and ankle care, you can be confident in the expert care he or she will receive at our podiatric office. Our warm and friendly staff goes to every length to make every patient’s visit as comfortable as possible. Our doctors will ensure parents are informed of every step of the evaluation process and part of the treatment plan decisions.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s foot health, please contact us today. Something minor today could become worse later, so early treatment is key when it comes to keeping your child’s feet healthy. Call Dallas Podiatry Works at 972.853.7100 in Dallas, TX or (972) 943-3323 in Plano, TX for an appointment today.

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.
