Only Podiatric Surgeon In S. Florida That Performs In-Office Ultrasound Imaging On Foot & Ankle Problems Saving Patients Over $1,000 In MRI Expenses & Extra Trip To Hospital

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrity Surgeon, Dr. Schilero (www.PBOI.com), whose clients include local golf and baseball athletes, along with players from the Miami Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals, now offers unique in-office Ultrasound imaging for rapid diagnosis of foot and ankle injuries. With his practice held at Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute (PBOI), Dr. Schilero uses this cutting-edge technology to treat common issues like soft tissue damage that do not appear on traditional x-rays.

The instantaneous diagnosis received from using the ultrasound saves patients a trip to the hospital, and $1,000 in MRI expenses. Unlike MRI's which can be cumbersome and claustrophobic, this unique treatment is painless and non-invasive.

Problems can be identified in real-time, and since this is the same ultrasound technology that's used to image the fetus of expected moms, it's proven to be safe.

With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Schilero specializes in patients with below the knee injuries such as:

• Ankle Sprains (first, second and third degree sprains)
• Medial eversions (foot roll inward causing ligament injuries)
• High Ankle Sprain (Syndesmosos)
• Birth Defects
• Foot & Ankle issues such as Bunions and Hammertoes

Along with professional and local athletes, Dr. Schilero provides complete foot and ankle treatments for adults and children at Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute.
