Due to the rising cost of healthcare, we have updated our “Patient Financial Responsibility Policy.”


At Michael K. Block, DPM, LLC our priority is to deliver quality care to informed patients in a comfortable and convenient setting.

Quality Care
When you have a problem with your feet, you need to turn to a podiatrist who listens and responds, an experienced doctor who knows the field and can effectively diagnose and treat your needs, a friendly physician who counsels you on the best ways to maintain and improve your health. Dr. Block  represents all of these qualities and more. They dedicate their time to every single patient and won't leave the exam room until you have had all of your problems addressed and questions answered.

Informed Patients
We believe that informed patients are better prepared to make decisions regarding their well-being. That is why we've included an extensive section on this website covering the full array of topics associated with podiatric diagnoses and treatments. Some of our services include ankle arthritisfoot pain, heel pain, bunions, ingrown toenails, and more. We encourage you to look through these pages whenever you have an interest or concern about your feet.

Comfortable, Convenient Setting
The best care in the world doesn't mean anything if you can't access it. At Michael K. Block, DPM, LLC, we strive to make our office as efficient and welcoming as possible. Included in these web pages are information about our office, directions, hours, insurance policies, and appointment scheduling.

We hope you find this website useful and invite you to contact us with your questions at any time.
