Dr. Casillas focuses on the foot, ankle, muscles and tendons essential to foot function. The Batavia Foot Clinic also treats athlete's foot, calluses and corns, hammer toes, ingrown toenails and bunions.

Diabetes causes the body to produce too much glucose (sugar) in the blood system, which in turn, causes serious foot problems. For diabetic patients however, these common foot problems can turn into serious ones, and could possibly lead to infection, or other serious complications. It is best to have Dr. Casillas and the staff at the Batavia Foot Clinic help to maintain your foot care for your health and safety.
