Nagler Foot Center Houston has practiced podiatric medicine from an office on Binz Street, in the museum district, for more than three decades. Dr. Sherman Nagler, D.P.M., FACFAS, is a Diplomate of the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and serves as Section Chief of Podiatric Surgery at HCA medical centers. Most people who walk through the door have been putting their problem off till it has become an issue. A rolled ankle from two summers ago that still gives out on stairs. A joint that swells by evening for no reason anyone has been able to explain.This practice handles the full range of foot and ankle conditions, from ingrown nails and heel pain to reconstructive work on joints that no longer hold together. Ankle surgery in Houston is performed here for fractures that healed out of position, ligaments stretched past the point where bracing helps, and arthritic joints that grind with every step. Not every patient needs an operation, and the evaluation comes first. Imaging, a look at how the foot actually loads when someone walks, then a conversation about what surgery can and cannot fix. Waiting rarely makes an unstable ankle easier to repair.
According to a company spokesperson, "People are often surprised at how much of their day was quietly organized around that ankle. When the joint is stable again, they stop planning around it. That is the part patients tell us about later, the ordinary things they went back to without thinking."
Care continues after the incision closes. Weight-bearing timelines, bracing, and the return to work or sport are mapped out for each patient rather than handed over as a printed sheet. The office also treats bunions, hammertoes, corns, diabetic foot complications, and sports injuries, and Dr. Nagler developed a unique incision technique that keeps surgical scarring off the visible top of the foot.
An ankle that has been unreliable for years tends to stay that way without treatment, and the joints around it start compensating. Patients weighing their options are seen individually, with the surgical and non-surgical routes both explained before anything is scheduled.
