We respect our patient’s privacy in all ways.
Sowell Podiatry makes every effort to comply with HIPPA standards. We feel it is important to gain our patients trust by protecting their privacy for them. Patients determine how their information is used and we follow their wishes concerning communication about them in the offices and when communicating with other offices and facilities.
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.
Excellent care and customer service will grow our practice through patient referrals.
We want to provide a medical experience that surpasses expectations. Kind, courteous, on-time, accurate, educational, concerned, connected 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.
We strive to reduce diabetic foot complications for our patients, and our community, though education, compassion and service.
Sowell Podiatry 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.
We provide the highest level of podiatric care available through our constant education.
Dr. Sowell loves his patients. He spends time getting to know each one and feels he is very fortunate to be in a profession that can provide so much pain relief! He calls them at home, checks on their care, visits at hospitals and seeks advice on cases that need more advanced specialties.
Dr. Sowell loves podiatry. He constantly reads medical literature, attends medical conferences and discusses interesting cases with fellow podiatrists. He particularly enjoys diabetic foot care, wound care, foot surgery, sports medicine and vascular assessment. In clinic, he trains his staff on common foot conditions and helps them prepare for various patients by discussing the disease and variations in its treatment. Our staff also performs various tasks around the office so they are cross-trained and have a better understanding of the wide variety of care we provide at Sowell Podiatry. We have two podiatry offices, provide care in over fifteen area nursing homes and perform surgery in three area hospitals and two surgery centers!
Excellent customer 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. 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. Communication is the key to this situation, so we will try to keep you posted when delays occur and we will work hard to catch up while maintaining our high level of care. If you must re-schedule we will remain flexible in finding a time that works for both of us.
