Information for Our High-Risk Patients

14353602_S_Doctor_files_hospital_medical (2).jpg

Dear Valued Patient,

Here at Lighthouse Foot and Ankle Center, our goal is to keep high-risk patients out of the Emergency Room and Urgent Care and stay infection and ulcer free.

High-risk patients include those with diabetes with neuropathy and poor circulation, history of amputation, infection or ulceration.

Ways we can help:

  • Triage with Telehealth - a phone call or message via our patient portal

  • Live Telehealth visit via the patient portal with video

  • Office appointment with Dr. Kurlanski

Ways to stay health and safe at home:

  • Eat a well-balanced diet

  • Check feet and moisturize daily

  • Manage stress - meditate, call a friend, read, exercise, hydrate

  • Avoid bathroom surgery - DO NOT CUT NAILS OR CALLUSES

If you presently have an ulcer, we want to hear from you!!  

Sincerely,
Lighthouse Foot and Ankle Center Team
