Cupertino Podiatry Inc. Comparative Summary

Podiatrists are always looking for ways to differentiate themselves from their competition, and those that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award are already several steps ahead. In addition to its Diamond Certified status, Cupertino Podiatry Inc. sets itself apart by focusing on providing long-term relief that not only helps patients’ feet and ankles, but also positively affects their lifestyles. “I’m one of the most comprehensively trained podiatrists in the Bay Area, but I also have an in-depth knowledge of biomechanics, which I use to closely evaluate my patients and determine if non-surgical treatments would be best for their specific situations,” says owner Dr. Michael Cornelison. “Instead of offering short-term relief, I address and treat the underlying cause of the problem.”

Cupertino Podiatry has been performing advanced reconstructive foot surgery and providing preventive foot care for Santa Clara County patients since 2003. The practice treats a wide range of foot conditions, including Achilles tendonitis, bunions, heel spurs, arch strains and more. Dr. Cornelison can also create specialized injury treatment programs for athletes who need to recover quickly.

Unlike podiatrists that take a generalized approach to diagnosing and treating foot and ankle problems, Cupertino Podiatry customizes its treatment plans for each patient according to their specific foot and ankle ailments—a comprehensive approach that’s resulted in a loyal clientele base that’s eager to refer the practice to others. “We depend on referrals, so it’s important to ensure each patient has a positive experience, both in terms of their treatment/therapy and their interaction with our staff,” says Dr. Cornelison. “By being upfront with our patients and asking them for their honest opinions, we’re able to maintain a consistently high level of quality.”

To further differentiate his practice from its competition, Dr. Cornelison emphasizes the importance of staying up-to-date on the latest medical technology and foot/ankle care standards. “From a professional standpoint, continuous medical and specialty education is very important,” he explains. “Even though I’m involved with many professional associations and recognized as an expert in my field, I still make sure to complete as much continuing education as possible. Staying on top of industry changes allows me to offer my patients the best possible care.”
