Award-Winning Podiatrists In Merrillville, IN, For Digital Radiography (X-Rays) To Accurately Diagnosis Foot Or Ankle Injuries

Update (4/8/2020):

We are requiring patients and anyone accompanying them to arrive for their appointment with a face covering, (such as a scarf, bandana, t-shirt, handmade mask or other) that covers their nose and mouth already in place.  If they or their guests arrive without one, they will be asked to return to their car to put one on or reschedule their appointment.  We are unable to issue surgical masks to patients at this time.  As such, beginning on the morning of April 8th, we will require patients and visitors to arrive for their appointment already wearing a face covering.

Dear Patient,

Weil Foot & Ankle Institute is committed to providing a safe and healthy care environment for our patients and team members. We are grateful for the exceptional care our dedicated team continues to provide for our patients.

We are here for you! As we all work together to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are proud to offer patients the option of TeleHealth appointments with our physicians from the comfort of your home.  A telehealth appointment can occur by using a personal computer (equipped with a webcam) or a smartphone. If you would like to schedule a TeleHealth appointment with one of our providers, please call 847-257-8614.

In the office, we continue to follow the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommendations for preventing the spread of COVID-19.  To maintain the health of our patients, staff and offices, we are doing the following:

• • Rescheduling elective surgical cases; most hospitals and health systems are asking for all elective procedures to be rescheduled.
  • Rescheduling all high-risk patients
    • Ages 60 and over
    • Patients who are immunocompromised or have serious chronic medical conditions
  • Rescheduling patients with non-critical visits such as routine nail care, callous care, etc.

We follow the sanitation guidelines set forth by OSHA to protect the health and safety of our patients, physician, staff and the community at large.  Additionally we’d like to share the following links where you will find the most up to date information about COVID-19 and what you can do to keep yourself, your family and friends safe while minimizing the risk to spread the virus.
