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
