Testimonials

On 4/29/2026 Beth Glasser had this to say:
I chose Dr. Tillman through an internet search as a result of the 5 star reviews and I understand why his practice is so highly regarded. The staff and the office are welcoming. There was little wait time before seeing him and yet he was unhurried and spent a good amount of time with me in the exam room. Dr Tillman is attentive, professional, informational and friendly. I felt completely at ease. The whole experience was very pleasant. I have already recommended his practice to some friends and family.

I am on my feet all day while at work and have suffered from plantar faciitis for a couple years. Dr Tillman’s approach has done wonders for me and I can finally walk normal again without a limp. His orthotics are the best I’ve ever had and are a true game changer.

FAQ

What does a podiatrist treat?

Podiatrists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and lower leg. This includes skin and nail disorders, structural deformities, sports injuries, diabetic foot issues, and more.

Do I need a referral to see Dr. Tillman?

Most patients do not need a referral, but it's best to check with your insurance provider to confirm.

Foot Pain & Injuries

What causes heel pain?
▸Heel pain is commonly caused by plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or tendonitis. Dr. Tillman offers laser treatments and custom care plans to relieve pain and restore mobility.

Can foot pain be related to other parts of the body?
▸Yes. Compensation from injuries elsewhere can lead to foot pain. A full exam helps identify the root cause.

Are x-rays enough to diagnose foot problems?
▸No. A comprehensive exam includes walking analysis, strength tests, and sometimes imaging to fully understand the issue.

Diabetic & Wound Care

Why is diabetic foot care important?
▸Diabetes can lead to nerve damage and poor circulation, increasing the risk of ulcers and infections. Regular checkups help prevent complications.

What kind of wound care is offered?
▸Dr. Tillman offers professional wound care services to support healing and prevent complications from various foot and ankle injuries.

Skin & Nail Conditions

What’s the difference between a wart and a corn?
▸Warts are caused by a virus and can appear anywhere on the foot. Corns are pressure-related and usually form on weight-bearing areas or toes.

How are ingrown toenails treated?
▸Treatment may include trimming, antibiotics, or minor procedures to remove the nail edge and prevent recurrence.
