Heels and toes and everything in between
Foot doc is now in town once a week

Podiatrist Kelly Reber will offer his services to patients in Williams each Wednesday.

Podiatrist Kelly Reber will offer his services to patients in Williams each Wednesday.

Kelly Reber knows quite a bit about feet. As a foot specialist, his unique talents, once focused in the Flagstaff area, are now available to Williams residents as well. Reber began working out of the Williams Health Care Center last month.

Reber is a podiatrist and foot and ankle specialist. He's lived in Flagstaff for 26 years. His son, who has followed in dad's footsteps, joined in his father's practice last summer.

"We're starting to expand out a little bit and hit some of the outlying areas," Reber said. He comes to Williams once a week on Wednesdays to offer his special services.

"For the most part, we will be taking care of basic foot trauma and basic foot care," Reber said. "Diabetic injuries and wounds are a very common thing, especially with the elderly. We treat running injuries. We have a specialty in nerve conditions and nerve trauma. A lot of heel pain is a very common entity that we see now, called planterfascitis. Basically we take care of anything that can happen to the foot and the ankle, any kind of a treatment, whether it be surgical, whether it be ankle fractures, whether it be just plain old corns and calluses and, as you get older, most people don't know that once you get Medicare, Medicare pays every two months."

Reber said that Medicare coverage might cover a number of treatments related to the feet.

"They cover all that treatment," he said.

Clients are encouraged to call Reber's office to schedule an appointment. Reber's Flagstaff office can be reached at 1-800-779-5111.

Reber was born in northern Arizona. He was also once involved in the Northern Arizona Medical Team, based out of Flagstaff.

"I grew up in a little town called Littlefield across the Big Ditch, close to St. George, Utah," Reber said. He moved to Flagstaff upon completion of his residency from medical school.

"We did volunteer medical work in Mexico and Mongolia and Brazil," Reber said of the medical team's mission. "Once a year we'd take medical trips, I'd take a team down, and we'd do free surgery for people in those countries. Right now, there's a group in Flagstaff called FIRE, which is medical relief, and takes clothes to Mongolia and we go as the medical arm of that team."

An avid runner, Reber has participated in the Grand Canyon Club's Rim to Rim to Rim a number of times. He also bikes and hikes.

"Now one of my special interests is I take a river boat once a year, my wife and I, through one of the river companies," Reber said. "We do two weeks on the river every year through the canyon."
