As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Haase offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Osteoarthritis of Foot: Experiencing chronic foot pain due to the wearing down of joint cartilage (osteoarthritis)? A podiatrist can assess your condition and recommend treatments like medication, physical therapy, or surgery.
- Plantar Fasciitis: Plantar fasciitis is heel pain caused by inflammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of your foot, and a podiatrist can help relieve your pain and improve your mobility.
- Foot Fracture: A podiatrist is the right doctor to see if you think you might have broken a bone in your foot (a foot fracture). They'll diagnose the fracture and guide your recovery with treatment like casting, splinting, or surgery.
- Achilles Tendinitis: Achilles tendinitis causes pain and stiffness in the back of the ankle, and your podiatrist can provide treatment options including medication, stretches, and possibly surgery.
- Ankle Sprain and Achilles Tendon Sprain or Rupture: Ankle sprains and Achilles tendon injuries involve damage to the ligaments and tendons around your ankle and heel, and a podiatrist can diagnose the severity and recommend treatment like bracing, physical therapy, or surgery.
- Foot Sprain: A podiatrist is the right doctor to see for a foot sprain, as they specialize in foot and ankle injuries and can provide expert diagnosis and care.
- Heel Spur: Sharp pain in your heel could indicate a heel spur, a bony growth. Your podiatrist can diagnose this condition and develop a personalized treatment plan that could include medication, physical therapy, or surgery.
- Metatarsalgia: If you have pain in the area of your foot behind your toes, you may have metatarsalgia. A podiatrist can help determine the cause and recommend treatment to reduce your pain.
- Clubfoot: If your child is born with clubfoot, a podiatrist can design a treatment plan that may include stretching, splinting, or surgery to straighten the foot.
- Posterior Tibial Tendonitis: Characterized by pain and stiffness in your inner ankle and arch, posterior tibial tendonitis is effectively managed by podiatrists through methods like physical therapy, custom orthotics, and in some cases, surgery to repair the damaged tendon.
- Osteoarthritis of Ankle: Osteoarthritis of the ankle involves the breakdown of the joint's protective cartilage, leading to discomfort and limited movement; a podiatrist can provide diagnosis, pain management, and treatment options.
- Bunionette: Painful swelling on the outside of your little toe? That might be a bunionette, a condition a podiatrist can diagnose and treat with options like padding, orthotics, or surgery.
This list represents some of the common conditions treated. An accurate diagnosis and a personalized care plan can only be developed through a direct consultation with a qualified medical professional.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Haase:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Haase is a podiatrist, specializing in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons treat the entire musculoskeletal system, but some may have additional training in foot and ankle care. A podiatrist's entire training is focused on the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- To see Dr. Haase, you may not need a referral. Many insurance plans, such as PPOs, allow direct appointments. However, some plans, like HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician. Call your insurance company to confirm your plan's specific requirements.
- What causes heel pain, and how do you treat it?
- The most frequent cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. Dr. Haase typically starts with conservative treatments like stretching exercises, icing, supportive footwear, and custom orthotics. Other options are available if these methods don't provide relief.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Haase focuses first on conservative treatments to relieve pain and pressure, such as recommending wider shoes, padding, and custom orthotics. Surgery is typically reserved for cases where pain is severe and significantly limits daily activities.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Haase advises against attempting to treat an ingrown toenail at home. Trying to remove the ingrown nail yourself can worsen the problem or lead to infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively address the ingrown toenail in the office, often with a simple procedure under local anesthesia.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Haase emphasizes the importance of podiatric care for people with diabetes because diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet. Small injuries can easily become serious infections without being noticed. Regular check-ups are essential for preventing complications, managing foot health, and avoiding amputations.
- My child's feet point inward when they walk. Is this a problem?
- In-toeing is very common in young children and often resolves on its own. However, if your child's in-toeing is severe, persistent, or causing tripping, Dr. Haase can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention is necessary. She can assess if stretching or special footwear is needed.
- What are custom orthotics and how are they different from store-bought insoles?
- Custom orthotics, prescribed by Dr. Haase, are medical devices created from a precise mold of your feet. They are designed to correct specific biomechanical issues and provide support where it's needed most, unlike store-bought insoles, which are simply cushioned supports.
