New Patient
More Than Foot & Ankle Care. A Complete Path Back to Mobility.
Foot and ankle pain can change how you move, work, exercise, and enjoy daily life. Whether your pain started suddenly or has been building for years, you deserve clear answers and a plan that makes sense. At Arp Regional Foot & Ankle Specialist, we provide comprehensive foot and ankle care, including diagnosis, treatment, and surgical solutions, for patients throughout Northern Arkansas and Southern Missouri.
Our team helps new patients find the cause of their symptoms, understand their treatment options, and take the next step toward better mobility. From heel pain and sports injuries to diabetic foot care, wound care, bunions, fractures, and advanced surgical needs, we are here to help you move forward with confidence.
Welcome to the Region’s Foot & Ankle Specialists
At Arp Regional Foot & Ankle Specialist, we believe good care starts with listening. Many patients come to us after months or years of discomfort, uncertainty, or treatments that did not fully address the problem. Our goal is to look at the whole picture, not just the painful area.
We serve as a regional referral center for foot and ankle conditions. We offer comprehensive care under one roof, including diagnosis, conservative treatment, advanced procedures, and surgical care when needed. We begin with conservative options first. If surgery is the right path, we explain the process clearly so you know what to expect.
Patients choose us because they want answers, solutions, and a team that understands how foot and ankle problems affect the rest of their lives. We focus on helping you restore mobility, reduce limitations, and return to the activities that matter to you.
A Different Approach to Foot & Ankle Care
Our approach is built around careful evaluation, clear communication, and long-term support. We want you to feel heard from the first visit.
The Arp Regional Difference
Physician-Led Care
At every visit, our foot and ankle specialist takes time to evaluate your concerns, understand your symptoms, and consider your lifestyle and goals. We do not believe in rushed visits or one-size-fits-all treatment.
We listen first so we can understand:
- Your symptoms
- Your daily activities
- Your medical history
- Your mobility goals
Thorough Diagnosis
Foot and ankle pain is not always caused by one simple issue. Sometimes the problem begins with how your foot moves, how your ankle supports weight, or how your lower extremities work together.
Our diagnostic approach may include:
- Detailed examinations
- Digital imaging
- Biomechanical assessment
- Gait analysis
- Review of previous treatment
Advanced biomechanical and gait analysis can help us see how your feet, ankles, knees, and lower extremities work together. This helps us identify the source of your pain and create a treatment plan that is specific to your needs.
Complete Treatment Options
Some patients improve with conservative care. Others need advanced procedures or surgery. We offer a full range of treatment options under one roof so care can be more complete and coordinated.
Your care may include:
- Non-surgical options
- Advanced procedures
- Surgical solutions
- Ongoing management
Long-Term Support
Foot and ankle care does not end after one appointment. We help patients prevent future problems, manage chronic conditions, and protect long-term mobility.
Our support may include:
- Prevention guidance
- Patient education
- Follow-up care
- Progress monitoring
- Lifelong foot health planning
What to Expect as a New Patient
Your first visit is designed to give you clarity. We want you to understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what can be done next.
Before Your Visit
Before your appointment, we may ask you to complete new patient forms and share your health information. This helps us prepare for your visit and understand your concerns before we see you.
Please be ready to provide:
- Your health history
- Your current symptoms
- Your medication list
- Your insurance information
- Any previous imaging or records
Comprehensive Evaluation
During your visit, we will take time to examine your foot, ankle, gait, and areas related to your symptoms. We may review imaging or recommend diagnostic testing if needed.
Your evaluation may include:
- A consultation with your provider
- A detailed foot and ankle exam
- A review of your symptoms
- A discussion of your concerns
- Imaging or testing when appropriate
Personalized Treatment Plan
After your evaluation, we will explain your diagnosis and treatment options in clear language. You will not be left guessing about the next step.
Your plan may include:
- A clear diagnosis
- Treatment recommendations
- Expected timelines
- Home care instructions
- Answers to your questions
Ongoing Care and Recovery
Healing often takes time, especially with injuries, chronic pain, diabetic foot concerns, or surgical recovery. We support you as your condition improves and make adjustments when needed.
Ongoing care may include:
- Follow-up visits
- Progress checks
- Treatment adjustments
- Recovery guidance
- Long-term prevention planning
