Dr. Tillman is Incredible. He is very responsive and goes above and beyond and has great bedside manner. Explains things very well and is always very professional.

On 10/1/2025 Francis Michaels had this to say:
I found Dr. Tillman strictly through a search on the Internet. I had been in a great deal of pain for over 3 weeks due to what I thought was an infection in my big toe. So nervous going to my appointment because it was very painful to even touch my toe. He assured me that a quick procedure for an ingrown toenail would correct the problem and He was perfectly right! Very professional, very personable and very skilled at what he does. I actually had to give him a hug on leaving my appointment! I HIGHLY recommend and will not hesitate to see him again if needed.

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.

How often should I see a podiatrist?

Regular visits depend on your foot health needs. Patients with diabetes, chronic foot pain, or recurring foot conditions may benefit from routine checkups to help prevent complications.

When should I seek treatment for foot pain?

If foot pain persists, worsens, or interferes with daily activities, it's important to have it evaluated. Early treatment can help prevent more serious issues.

Can laser therapy help with foot conditions?

Yes. Laser therapy may be used to help reduce pain, inflammation, and discomfort associated with certain foot and heel conditions while supporting the healing process.

What are the signs of an ingrown toenail?

Common signs include redness, swelling, tenderness, pain along the nail edge, and sometimes drainage or infection. Early treatment can help prevent complications.

What should I do if I notice a foot wound that isn't healing?

Any wound that heals slowly, especially for patients with diabetes, should be evaluated promptly to help prevent infection and support proper healing.

What can I do to keep my feet healthy?

Good foot health starts with proper hygiene, supportive footwear, routine self-checks, and prompt treatment of any pain, skin changes, or injuries. Regular podiatry visits can help prevent problems and keep you active.
