It's official!
As of August 31st, we will be taking over the North Canton location following the well-deserved retirement of the wonderful Dr.
Springer.
We are truly honored to carry on the high standard of care he has established in the community, and we look forward to this exciting next chapter. Dr. Bishop, Dr. Aikins, and Dr. Sariles will be seeing patients at both our Alliance and North Canton locations!
Thank you for welcoming us—we can't wait to see you soon! 👣 🩺

The podiatry group based in Alliance closed its Salem location and will begin seeing clients in North Canton on Aug. 31. See link below ⬇️
