I highly recommend Dr. Kurlanski and her staff. Lighthouse has a bright, clean, office. Everyone is super friendly. Most importantly, she was able to fix my foot! I wish I had gone to her a year ago 🙂

Had to go in for a pretty bad ingrown toe nail I let get out of control. They were super understanding and helpful and walked me through every step of the way. Even during the surgery they were very kind and frequently checked on me to make sure I was doing well. Even let me play some music!
Excellent staff and service, and at a reasonable price. Couldn't ask for much more than that.

I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Kurlanski and the entire office staff. They have been amazing and after almost a year of suffering, I’m nearly pain free. She was exceptionally thoughtful in her approach and it felt like we made the plan together. Absolutely would recommend!

The team at Lighthouse Foot and Ankle couldn’t have been better. My youngest son had to get a procedure done on his foot and it was great. They delivered on the outcomes and he was super relieved. He was back playing lacrosse in a week!

Posting on behalf of Heidi Becker:

I visited Dr. Kurlanski for treatment of two plantar’s warts, one of which I had for over 5 years. I had received treatment by another Dr. previously, but wasn’t getting anywhere. Dr. Kurlanski treated both warts with Cantharidin (aka Beatle juice). It took a couple treatments before one wart was gone. However, I didn’t have the same success with the second wart so I tried Immunotherapy which I had never heard about. I was a little reluctant because she was clear that it would be painful, and it was (for like a second or two). However, it proved successful after only one treatment. I will never try any other avenue for planters warts in the future. It is well worth enduring the brief discomfort because when you leave the office, there is no pain or blistering. Your immune system does the work from there. The office is very nice and clean, and the staff is very friendly and professional. A+ for Dr. Kurlanski.

I sought a second opinion from Dr. Kurlanski regarding how best to treat tendonitis in my foot. Dr. Kurlanski offered a very useful and fresh perspective regarding my issue and how to treat it. The custom orthotics made by Dr. Kurlanski have helped me make good progress toward recovery. Dr. Kurlanski's staff, Cheryl and Sheila, were also very professional and friendly. Overall, I had a very positive experience at Lighthouse Foot and Ankle and would recommend it.

Thanks again guys so much! Keep up the awesome work!
