Expert Precision Nerve Care

Yurkanin, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon with over 20 years of experience, our center offers advanced care for nerve pain, drop foot, and chronic conditions that others often overlook.

With therapies like MLS Laser, orthobiologics, and nerve hydrodissection, we help restore movement, reduce pain, and give you your life back. If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” we’re here to say, you don’t have to.
