When this practice is a relevant option

Consider SCF&A if you are in the Ladera Ranch or Orange area of Orange County and need evaluation for a foot or ankle concern—particularly a pediatric issue such as clubfoot, a fracture, an Achilles injury, a sports-related problem, or a question about ankle arthroscopy. The site's telemedicine request option may suit patients who want an initial remote consultation, and the online forms can be completed before a visit.

For conditions outside foot and ankle care, or for care in another region, a different practice would be the appropriate starting point. Appointment availability, insurance coverage, and fees are not specified on the site, so confirm these directly with the office when scheduling.
