Feet Never Take A Day Off And This Podiatric Team Can Help Keep Them Functioning

Healing the world one step at a time through friendly, attentive care is the mission of a trio of podiatrists in Brentwood. Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle Clinic medical team members at 1001 Health Park Drive, Suite 330, assure they offer premier podiatric care in a comfortable, convenient and compassionate setting. This team of licensed professionals specializes in addressing global podiatric concerns in infants, children, teens and adults.

"We take pride in diagnosing and treating a variety of foot problems, as well as educating patients on preventative techniques," says Nashville’s own hometown professional Dr. Yerusalem Lanier, DPM.

Along with Dr. David Farnen, Dr. Ethan Hyde and Morgan Hubble, FNP-BC, Cutting Edge Foot and Ankle Clinic patients can receive well-rounded, thorough care for foot, ankle and lower leg medical issues, says Dr. Lanier. Together, they address a myriad of podiatric challenges, spanning overall foot and ankle care; heel pain; skin conditions; arthritis; plantar warts; Achilles tendinitis; flatfoot; bunions; Morton’s neuroma; diabetic foot care and orthotics. They also handle surgeries and treat injuries, including broken bones and trauma conditions.

"It's important to identify and treat root causes associated with pain. For example, ankle pain can be, but doesn’t have to be, the result of an injury. While fractures and sprains cause ankle pain, ankle aches could be the result of arthritis or an autoimmune condition," says Dr. Farnen. 

Through the clinic's concierge service, Dr. Hyde says they offer patients extended time with doctors during appointments and convenient access to doctors outside of appointments. "We also offer same- or next-day visits with minimal wait time during the week, and we work closely with patients to guide medical care in tandem with individual lifestyles and wellness habits."

Additionally, this team says they can coordinate medical care, facilitate scheduling with medical and surgical specialists, and interface with other doctors on their patients' behalf.
