Quick story about the guy behind the clinic. πŸ‘‡

Biology at Texas State. Doctor of Podiatric Medicine from Des Moines University. Surgical residency in Pittsburgh, where part of his training meant correcting limb deformities for underprivileged kids in San Salvador, El Salvador. Then a fellowship at the Weil Foot & Ankle Institute in Chicago, focused on advanced reconstruction and complex surgical revisions.

In 2019, Dr. Baca brought all of it to Plano and opened Total Foot and Ankle.

A lot of miles, so yours don't have to hurt. 🦢

There's a treatment for chronic foot and heel pain that skips the surgery, skips the needles, and skips the long recovery. Most patients have never heard of it.

It's called EPAT, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology. It's FDA-cleared, done right in the office, and it works by triggering your body's own healing response instead of just masking the pain.

No incisions. No downtime. Just pulses of energy aimed at the source of the problem.

If you've been dealing with heel pain, tendon pain, or that ache that never fully goes away, this might be the missing piece.

One wrong step off a curb. One bad landing on the court. That's usually all it takes.

Foot and ankle fractures range from small stress fractures to breaks that need surgical repair, and not every fracture looks or feels the same. Some people walk in thinking it's "just a sprain." It isn't always.

Here's what one of our own patients told us after trusting Dr. Baca with a complex calcaneus fracture: "I wouldn't trust anyone else with such complex surgeries."

That's the kind of care we bring to every fracture, big or small.

Think you might have more than a sprain? Don't wait it out. Get it checked.

Surgery sounds scary. This one's smaller than you think.

Foot and ankle arthroscopy uses a tiny camera and small instruments through incisions barely bigger than a paper cut. No large incision. No long recovery room stay. For the right cases, it often means getting back on your feet faster than traditional surgery.

It's one of the most underused tools in podiatry, mostly because people don't know it exists until they need it.

Dealing with ankle pain, swelling, or a joint issue you've been putting off? This might be an option worth asking about.

Happy Labor Day! πŸ› οΈ

To the nurses on their feet for 12-hour shifts. The servers running food all night. The contractors, teachers, and parents who never really clock out. Your feet have been working overtime all year.

Today's about rest. So kick your shoes off, put your feet up, and let them actually recover for once.

And if they've been bothering you more than they should? That's not something to just push through. That's something we can help with.

Here's to the people who keep everything running. We see you. 🦢

Cleats are back on. So are the sideline limps.

If your kid's favoring one foot after practice or wincing every time they run, don't just chalk it up to growing pains. There's a real thing called Sever's disease, heel pain from a growth plate that flares up right when fall sports ramp up. It's common. It's treatable. And it gets worse the longer it's ignored.

We see it every September: the kids who get checked out early are back on the field in weeks. The ones who push through it? Benched a lot longer than they'd like.

Got a young athlete lacing up this season? Let's make sure their feet can keep up with them. 🏈⚽

"It's not that bad."

We hear this constantly. And then patients tell us they haven't walked their dog in two months. Or they've been popping ibuprofen daily just to get through work.

Foot pain has a way of quietly shrinking your life.

It doesn't have to.

Dr. Baca is accepting new patients now. Five minutes to schedule. Could change everything.

Your Achilles tendon does more work than you think.

And when it's angry, you'll know.

Morning stiffness. That dull ache behind your heel. Pain that gets worse the more you move.

Sound familiar? That's not just "soreness." That's your body asking for help.

Dr. Baca is an Achilles specialist right here in Plano. Don't wait until a small problem becomes a big one.
