Dr. Sloan has spent considerable time volunteering to the profession and the community to ensure the profession moves forward in such a way as to benefit the members of the community. Our staff works as a team in providing comprehensive foot health care. The return to comfort and normal activity is our primary goal. To this end, we are interested in both the prevention and correction of lower extremity disorders. Many conditions can be successfully treated in a conservative manner. Occasionally, surgical correction is necessary. These procedures, when indicated, may be performed either in the surgical center or in the hospital on an outpatient basis. There is rarely the need for an overnight hospital stay. Each individual has a therapeutic approach that is best suited for him or her. Whatever the approach, patients generally find that comfort and return to normal activity is attainable in a short amount of time. Martin V. Sloan, DPM, FACFAS
