- Warts
- ArthritisOrthoses (shoe inserts) may be useful in controlling abnormal foot movement, and may reduce symptoms for those with a painful bunion that has not yet caused a significant bony abnormality at the joint. If a systemic disease like rheumatoid arthritis or gouty arthritis is related to the bunion, appropriate medical treatment may be recommended.
- Plantar FasciitisPlantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the plantar fascia, the band of tissue that spans from the heel to the toes. Heel pain results from the fascia becoming irritated and then inflamed.
- CryotherapyTopical and oral treatments, acid treatments, laser therapy, cryotherapy (freezing) or surgery may be used for wart removal.
- Emergency CareAn ankle injury should be evaluated by Dr. Radovic for proper diagnosis and treatment. If Dr. Radovic is not immediately available, the patient should go to the emergency room for initial evaluation, then follow up with Dr. Radovic for a more complete examination.
- Diabetic Foot CareDr. Radovic achieved a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Molecular-Cellular Developmental Biology in 1982 at the University of Colorado and went on to obtain a Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine, from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in 1987.

- Ankle SurgeryYes Dr. Radovic is triple board-certified. He is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and is certified in foot, rear-foot reconstruction and ankle surgery.
- Bunion SurgeryMost importantly, unlike bunion surgery, this new in-office treatment has zero downtime so that you can wear your regular shoes and go back to your routine right away.
- Joint ReplacementFor a severe bunion, a combination of the following procedures may be necessary: removal of the enlarged portion of the bone; cutting and realignment of the bone; and correction of the tendons and ligaments.If the joint is destroyed beyond repair (commonly seen in arthritis), it may need to be reconstructed or replaced with an artificial joint. Joint replacement implants may be used in the reconstruction of the big toe joint.
- BunionsPain from a bunion can be mild, moderate, or severe, and is not necessarily relative to how large the bunion is. Small or mild bunions can be quite painful depending on activity level, making it difficult to walk or engage in shoe-specific recreation or athletics. The skin and deeper tissues around the bunion can become swollen or inflamed.
- Heel Surgery
- Arthroscopy
- Ingrown ToenailsImproper trimming. Clipping the nails too short makes the bordering skin to fold over the nail. This is the most common cause of ingrown toenails.
- BotoxBunionTox® treats a bunion (hallux valgus) with a precise yet simple injection technique using botulinum toxin commonly known as Botox® used to treat face wrinkles and many other conditions safely. It is performed with little discomfort and zero downtime. Proven published results show pain reduction and reversal in bunion progression without any adverse effects.
- Hammertoe SurgeryDr. Radovic can determine which procedure or procedures will best fit the correction of the deformity Considering such factors as your health status, age, activity level, expectations and prognosis. Recovery time varies however most cases require a walking boot or postoperative sandal for a period of 3 to 4 weeks. Dr. Radovic's goals performing hammertoe surgery are to eliminate pain, restore function and offer a cosmetically pleasing result.
- CornsCorns and calluses develop on top of the toe, in between two toes or on the sole of the foot. Caused by repeated friction and pressure when shoes are too tight, corns may be soft or hard depending on their location.
- Cyst
- CallusesI have been a patient of Dr. Radovic for almost 30 years. I originally went to him for calluses on my feet. I was on my feet all day at my job. Over the years Dr. Radovic has performed 3 surgeries on my feet. He has also treated me for ankle and feet problems. But the proof of Dr Radovic’s sincerity was when I was bitten by a brown recluse spider. I went to my regular doctor who only gave me an antibiotic prescription. No one knew what I had--only a big red line in a vein in my leg and a huge infection on a toe. I called Dr. Radovic’s office, asked if I could get an appt ASAP. He looked at the infection and had me

- Ankle SprainFractures in the ankle are common injuries, often caused by an inward or outward rolling of the ankle. An ankle fracture is sometimes mistaken for an ankle sprain. Although these injuries can occur together, they are very different and require early and accurate diagnosis.

- Achilles TendonitisAchilles tendonitis and Achilles tendinosis are two disorders that often occur in the heel cord. Achilles tendonitis is normally a temporary inflammation of the Achilles tendon. If not resolved, the inflammation may lead to Achilles tendonosis, a degeneration of the tendon. This tendon degeneration results in loss of organized structure and most likely leads to microscopic tears. At times, the degeneration involves the site where the Achilles tendon attaches to the heel bone. Rare cases result in chronic degeneration with or without pain that may result in tendon rupture.
- Ankle InstabilityChronic ankle instability is the sudden collapse of the outer side of the ankle when standing, walking or playing sports. This instability usually develops after repeated ankle sprains. A number of athletes and other people suffer from chronic ankle instability.
- Ankle SprainA serious bone fracture, or other severe ankle injury may have occurred in addition to the sprain. If left untreated, such conditions may lead to serious complications.
- Bunions ProblemsWhile there are non-surgical things you can do to make bunions less uncomfortable, such as wearing wider shoes or taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, conservative measures are inconvenient, short-term solutions, and they do not prevent your bunion deformity from getting worse.

- Heel SpursPlantar Fasciitis, a condition sometimes also called heel spur syndrome, is the most common cause of heel pain. These condition names are used together when a spur is present. Other factors, such as a stress fracture, nerve irritation, tendonitis and arthritis may contribute to heel pain. Rarely, a cyst may also cause heel pain.
- Heel PainDr. Radovic specializes in reconstructive foot and ankle surgeries, Advanced Bunion Surgery, Non-Incision, Non-Surgical Heel Pain Treatment, Ankle Arthroscopy and Endoscopic Heel Surgery, as well as general foot/ankle care and complex surgery revisions. He is published in internationally peer reviewed journals and holds several seminal medically related patents. Dr. Radovic has been an on-air consultant with the nationally syndicated The Doctors television show in over ten different episodes.
- Foot Pain
- Ingrown ToenailsAn ingrown toenail is a common nail condition in which the nail is curved and grows into the skin, cutting into one or both sides of the nail bed. The penetration of the nail irritates the skin and causes pain, redness, swelling and warmth in the toe.
- Foot Injuries
- Foot NeuromaA neuroma is an inflamed nerve that can occur at any point along a nerve. Morton's neuroma - the most common type of foot neuroma - affects the interspace between the third and fourth toes. Intermetatarsal neuroma is another name for this condition, as it is located in the ball of the foot between the metatarsal bones. Neuromas also occur less commonly in other areas of the foot.

- Podiatric DeformitiesAthletes are commonly affected by disorders of the Achilles tendon. People with jobs that overstress the ankles and feet, such as laborers, are at high risk as well. “Weekend warriors” - individuals who are less conditioned to undertake athletic activities on the weekends or infrequently - may develop these injuries. Lastly, people with foot deformities and excessive pronation place greater demands on the tendon when walking. Coupled with unstable footwear, their over-pronation could aggravate the Achilles tendon and result in inflammation.
- Podiatric OrthopedicsFoot and ankle surgery is a unique specialty which requires an in-depth knowledge of podiatric orthopedics and biomechanics. Foot and ankle surgery is typically performed when conservative measures have failed in alleviating the patient's condition.
- Podiatric SurgeryUnfortunately there are a number of shoe inserts, insoles and “arch supports” being marketed as Orthotics which the average person is unable to distinguish from the real thing. It’s a billion dollar industry and therefore attracts a lot of “gimmickry” that has caused many people to unwittingly waste their money and become soured on benefits of a true custom functional orthotic and perhaps pursuing unnecessary foot surgery.
