Referring Patients to Balance Foot & Ankle: Michigan Podiatric Referrals

Michigan physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare providers can refer patients to Balance Foot & Ankle for comprehensive podiatric evaluation and management. Our fellowship-trained podiatric surgeons provide the full range of podiatric services — from conservative management of plantar fasciitis, neuropathy, and nail conditions to complex reconstructive surgery, Achilles tendon repair, and diabetic limb salvage. We accept referrals from primary care, endocrinology, vascular surgery, orthopedic surgery, rheumatology, neurology, and wound care practices throughout Southeast Michigan.

For referring providers, we offer same-week appointments for urgent cases, timely consultation notes sent to the referring provider, coordinated co-management for complex patients (particularly diabetic foot and limb salvage cases), and direct communication when a patient requires urgent surgical or wound care intervention. Our offices are located at 4330 E Grand River in Howell (serving Livingston County) and 43494 Woodward Ave #208 in Bloomfield Hills (serving Oakland County). We are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Medicare, and most Medicare Advantage plans.

To refer a patient to Balance Foot & Ankle, call our office at (810) 206-1402. For urgent referrals, same-day communication with the on-call podiatrist is available. We welcome the opportunity to provide podiatric co-management for your patients with complex or chronic foot and ankle conditions, and we commit to keeping you informed about your patient’s podiatric care and outcomes.
