It is through the use of custom orthodics that this pain is reduced. Werkman's new office was designed with an environmentally friendly conscience. "We had a mission to practice environmentally friendly processes, meaning we researched furniture and fixtures prior to purchase in order to have a minimal impact on the environment," In following a trend that showed to be extremely resourceful in his first location, the office is completely chartless. Not only does this reduce the office's carbon footprint, it makes tracking patient care a lot more efficient. "Digital photos of all patient's feet are taken so that we have an exact documentation of any present lesions, skin patterns, moles and pigmentation within a mole, etc." Rick's background gives everyone happy feet. He graduated at the top of his class in 1991 from the Michener Institute for Applied Health Sciences, the only school in Ontario where you can study chiropody. He is a member of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario and is certified in local anesthesia and nail surgery. Rick has also recently upgraded his degree through a Bachelor of Science Podiatric Medicine Program. He studied research methods, with electives concentrating in the areas of podogerontology (study of senior's feet), podopharmacology (study of foot-related medications) and sports medicine. "This broad range of knowledge of our practitioners and good working relationships with the community doctors and the detail of follow-through that we give our patients is what makes us unique," Vicki explains.
