Podiatrist Serving Urbana, MD

Urbana sits just over the Frederick County line, where I-270 opens up past the Germantown exits. The Villages of Urbana and the newer communities around them have grown into a commuter town — a lot of residents drive south every morning toward Germantown, Rockville, and DC, then back again at night. When a foot problem sends them looking for a specialist, the calculus is simple: the Germantown office is already on the way home, while the Bethesda-and-Beltway practices are another half-hour of traffic further.

The Frederick corridor also lives outdoors. Sugarloaf Mountain is right there for hiking, the road and trail running is excellent, and weekend athletes are everywhere. So the complaints that come down from Urbana tend to pair the two realities — the pounding of long commutes and desk days on one hand, the pounding of hills and miles on the other. Both land on the heel and the arch.
