Podiatrist Serving Rockville, MD
For Rockville patients, Dr. Gary Feldman, DPM, FACFAS sees feet and ankles at the Bethesda office — a straight run down Rockville Pike.
Rockville sits just up MD-355 and I-270 from the Bethesda office, so getting to an appointment rarely means more than a quick drive down the Pike — or a short hop from the Rockville and Twinbrook stations on the Red Line. As the Montgomery County seat, Rockville packs a lot of foot traffic into a small footprint: county and courthouse workers on their feet all day, families spread across King Farm, Fallsgrove, College Gardens, and Twinbrook, and a Town Square crowd that walks far more than it drives.
That mix keeps the injuries varied. Rockville’s deep bench of youth sports — the rec-league fields and the Richard Montgomery, Wootton, and Rockville High programs — sends over plenty of teenaged sprains and heel complaints, while active parents turn up with the overuse aches that come from squeezing a run or a weekend game into a full week. Dr. Feldman’s decades on the sideline shape how he treats both.
What Rockville patients come in for
A county-seat mix of active adults and busy youth-sports families tends to bring these through the door most often.
- Ankle sprainsThe rolled ankle that comes off a rec-league field or a Rockville High sideline.
- Achilles tendinitisOveruse pain in weekend runners fitting miles around a full week.
- Heel painNagging heel soreness in adults on their feet all day downtown.
- Plantar fasciitisThat first-step-of-the-morning stab under the heel.
- MetatarsalgiaBall-of-foot ache from long days walking the Town Square and county blocks.
Whether it’s a young athlete’s first bad sprain or an adult whose heel pain has outlasted a drugstore insert, most Rockville visits start with conservative care and only move toward a procedure when they need to. These are the services Rockville patients reach for most.
