Excellent medical care and friendly service will grow our practice through patient referrals. We want to provide a medical experience that surpasses expectations. Kind, courteous, on-time, educational, concerned and successful are just a few ways we want our patients to see us. We want our patients to trust Sowell Podiatry and be so comfortable with their care that they are willing to share us to their friends and families. We promise to take the trust you show us seriously and to strive to improve each time you see us. Your referrals are the highest compliment you can pay us…thank you for choosing Sowell Podiatry!

Excellent service is our goal. Medical practices are busy places! With reduced reimbursements, increased paperwork and added layers of bureaucracy it can be very difficult to maintain a professional and courteous environment. We strive to do this though building friendly relationships with our patients. You can expect a warm welcome and willingness to make sure you are comfortable in our office. The fresh eyes of our patients often see areas where we could improve. Please do us the honor of telling us where improvement could be achieved and we will work hard to reach the level of care you are requesting. All comments are appreciated.  If there is something you need to make your experience more pleasant, please do not hesitate to ask. Also, Sowell Podiatry is constantly working to reduce waiting times in our office.

Like all medical specialties, Podiatry is constantly changing.  Dr. Sowell works hard to make sure he is up to date on his field and he employs those new techniques, treatments and medications that make sense for his practice and patients.  Dr. Sowell has been the first in East Texas to perform many foot surgery techniques and is constantly looking for ways to heal wounds more quickly.  He also is involved in sharing his ideas for products that he feels would benefit his patients to companies in hopes of improving his patient’s care.  Dr. Sowell also actively teaches his staff to make sure they know what is new in podiatry.

Nursing home residents deserve the same care and compassion as any patient in our practice. Dr. Sowell has always had a heart for elderly patients, particularly those in nursing home facilities. He has seen patients in nursing home facilities since August 1997 and currently sees residents of over fifteen area nursing homes. Our goal is to treat our nursing home patients with the same quality care provided in our office. We travel to their facility and see each resident that needs care in their room, providing more privacy and comfort. Getting to know our nursing home patients is a great experience and providing them relief of pain and deformity with respect and dignity is our goal

Dr. Sowell will take every opportunity to speak to or educate diabetics concerning their foot and medical care. Too many people with diabetes suffer from wounds, infections and amputations that could be prevented with early diagnosis and treatment. Diabetic foot complications put a large burden on our medical system and on the families affected by the disease. If you know a person who has diabetes, please help them get involved in their own medical care and educate themselves on proper nutrition, blood sugar control, foot exams, eye exams, etc. Sowell Podiatry provides education in the office, on our website (www.sowellpodiatry.com), on our blog (www.nacogdochesfootdoctor.com), through speaking engagements and community events.

Diagnosis and treatment are not enough. Patients need to be educated on their condition, treatment options and prevention. Too often patients settle for a quick diagnosis from their physician and are handed a prescription on the way out without any explanation as to the severity of their problem, its cause, or how to prevent this from recurring. At Sowell Podiatry, Dr. Sowell spends much of his time explaining the cause of the condition so patients have a better understanding and, therefore, can make a better decision concerning treatment. Typically, many treatment options are considered and discussed. Dr. Sowell feels a patient educated on their condition makes better decisions and is more compliant to the course of treatment. Written handouts and articles are distributed to promote more study at home if desired and our website (www.sowellpodiatry.com) is a great resource for information.
