FARMINGTON – Franklin Memorial Hospital (FMH) and St. Mary’s Center for Orthopaedics are providing weekly podiatry specialty services on Wednesdays, beginning Sept. 10 at Franklin Health Orthopaedics on the FMH campus. Daniel Buck, DPM, FACFAS, a surgical podiatrist, will be providing the services.
Dr. Daniel Buck brings a valuable specialty in podiatry to greater Franklin County treating patients with a wide range of foot and ankle challenges. His services include: treatment of soft tissue and bony surgeries of the foot and ankle; treatment of plantar fasciitis and related conditions; bunion and hammertoe surgery; foot and ankle reconstruction and revision; podiatric sports medicine; and non-diabetic and diabetic foot care, with consultation as needed with wound care specialist Dr. Gerald Tinguely who sees patients in the FMH Wound Clinic.
“This collaborative approach ensures access to specialty care while at the same time reducing duplication and inefficiencies,” said Gerald Cayer, Franklin Community Health Network executive vice president. “It reflects a strategic focus in partnering with larger centers of excellence, like St. Mary’s, that have quality specialty medical services.”
Dr. Buck received his medical degree from the California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco, California, and then completed his residency at the VA Medical Center, also in San Francisco. Dr. Buck is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, and is board certified in foot and ankle surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery.
Along with his medical degree, Dr. Buck has also earned a law degree from the University of Maine School of Law located in Portland.
Franklin Health Orthopaedics is located on the second floor of the Franklin Health Medical Arts Center in Farmington. For more information or to make an appointment, call 778-9001.
