Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgery Serving Bayville, NJ

The first visit to a foot and ankle specialist typically starts with a conversation about how long something has hurt, how it happened, and what has already been tried. At the Bayville office at 1 Pelican Dr, that conversation is followed immediately by in-office foot and ankle X-rays — so Dr. Michael Kachmar can review imaging the same day rather than sending you somewhere else and waiting. That sequence matters: when you can see bone structure, alignment, and joint space at the initial exam, the path to a treatment decision shortens considerably.

Ocean County has one of New Jersey's highest concentrations of older adults, a population that disproportionately deals with slow-healing wounds, circulation problems, and gradual joint degeneration. For patients in that situation, a practice that handles reconstructive surgery, wound care, and arterial disease treatment under one roof means fewer referrals, fewer new-patient intake forms, and a care team that already knows your history when the next problem surfaces.

Not every foot or ankle problem requires surgery, and part of the evaluation process is determining which approach fits. Wound care often comes before reconstructive procedures — especially for patients dealing with peripheral arterial occlusive disease, where circulation limits how well tissue heals after any intervention. Addressing arterial disease treatment first can change the outcome of a later surgical repair, so the sequencing is deliberate, not incidental.

When surgery is the right step, the practice performs in-office surgical procedures for appropriate cases, keeping certain interventions out of a hospital setting entirely. For reconstructive foot and ankle surgery — cases involving structural correction, tendon repair, or joint stabilization — the same clinical team that managed your wound or imaging is already familiar with your anatomy and medical background. That continuity tends to produce cleaner handoffs between stages of care.

Berkeley Township spreads across a large section of Ocean County, and many residents rely on Route 9 to reach specialty care — the same corridor that connects Bayville to the practice's second office in Barnegat.

From the first exam through any surgical follow-up, the evaluation and treatment sequence at this practice typically moves through the following stages:

• In-office foot and ankle X-rays taken at the initial visit so structural findings are available immediately for review
• Circulation assessment for patients with slow-healing wounds or known peripheral arterial occlusive disease, which informs whether arterial disease treatment should precede other interventions
• Wound care management for diabetic, post-surgical, or chronically non-healing wounds — a common need across Ocean County's older adult population
• In-office surgical procedures for qualifying cases, reducing the need for hospital-based settings when the scope allows
• Reconstructive foot and ankle surgery for structural conditions requiring correction, with care continuity from the same Bayville-based team

Each stage feeds into the next, so patients do not start over with a new provider when their condition changes or escalates. To walk through this process with a specialist at the Bayville location, contact us today to schedule reconstructive foot and ankle surgery or wound care in Bayville, NJ.
