Coastal Living and Your Feet
Living near the coast means more time barefoot, in sandals, and on sand and pavement. While that lifestyle is part of what makes Hollywood special, it can also contribute to heel pain, arch strain, cracked skin, athlete’s foot, plantar warts, and toenail fungus. Thin, unsupportive footwear can also aggravate Morton’s neuroma and plantar fasciitis.
Our Pembroke Pines office is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm, giving Hollywood patients plenty of options for scheduling. Dr. Bell takes time to understand your daily routine so your treatment plan includes practical steps that fit your life.

Hollywood Podiatry FAQs
How do Hollywood patients reach your office?
Our Pembroke Pines office at 601 North Flamingo Road, Suite #208 is an easy drive west from Hollywood.
Can walking barefoot on the beach cause foot pain?
Yes. Walking on uneven sand without support can strain the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, and arch, which may lead to heel pain or tendonitis.
How do you treat plantar warts?
Plantar warts can be treated with in-office therapies that remove the wart tissue and stimulate the immune response. Over-the-counter options often fail on stubborn warts.
What causes toenail fungus?
Toenail fungus is caused by fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments like sweaty shoes, pool decks, and locker rooms. Diabetes and aging can increase the risk.
Do you provide routine nail care for seniors?
Yes. Our geriatric foot care includes trimming thickened or difficult nails and treating corns and calluses to keep older adults comfortable and mobile.
Do I need a referral?
Many insurance plans do not require a referral to see a podiatrist, but some HMO plans do. Our staff can help you check your plan.
