Originally from Poughkeepsie, New York. She became interested in a career in foot and ankle surgery after her 20 years experience as a ballet dancer. Dr. Anderson has been practicing with Allentown Family Foot Care, PC since July of 2005. She earned her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in Philadelphia, Pa. after earning her Bachelor of Science in Biology at Cornell University. She completed a 3 year reconstructive foot and ankle surgical residency training at the INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church, Virginia.
Dr. Short completed his training at JFK Medical Center in West Palm Beach, FL. The three year residency provides a high variety of foot and ankle procedures but focuses on major reconstructive surgeries including flatfoot, cavus foot and charcot deformity correction. The program also has a large volume of foot and ankle trauma and is well versed in both wound care and limb salvage. His training also included correction of bunions, hammertoes, heel pain and general foot and ankle arthritic conditions.
Arthritis is inflammation and swelling of the cartilage and lining of the joints, generally accompanied by an increase in the fluid in the joints. Each foot has 33 joints that can be afflicted with arthritis. The term "Charcot foot" describes a pattern of bone and joint damage that results in weaknesses.
Ingrown nails, the most common nail impairment, are nails whose corners or sides dig painfully into the soft tissue of nail grooves, often leading to irritation, redness, and swelling. Usually, toenails grow straight out. Sometimes, however, one or both corners or sides curve and grow into the flesh.

Very basically, I was duped into a sale for custom orthotics by Allentown Family Foot Care. During the initial consult with Dr. Baker, I was very clear when I asked if my insurance would cover a majority of the cost for the orthotics I needed ($600 price tag). If not, I would go elsewhere that did take my insurance. Dr. Baker assured me that my particular insurance would cover 70% of the costs as she had checked with her front office staff. So, I decided to move forward and order the orthotics from her.
Fast forward several months, several calls from their billing department, roughly 8 cumulative hours on the phone with our insurance company, and the recent weeks of collections calls and threats to my credit score. We reluctantly paid the outstanding bill, ending up paying $780 out of pocket for something that should have cost us $180. I will be sure to let everyone I know personally and professionally to not ever come to this place because I was either flat out lied to or it was a gross oversight on their part. Find yourself a different Podiatrist's office.

Thank you to Dr. Fritz and his entire staff for taking care of my entire family! You have helped my 80 yr old mother with taking excellent care of her toe nails to making her custom orthotics that make her ankles stable for walking. You have taken care of my sons in many ways and also my Ex husband and his diabetic/ neuropothy feet and nail care. Your office has made walking and standing on my sons feet pain free.
I will have to be next since i am a diabetic and need my feet checked. Lol. Again, thank you to everyone from the people that check us in, out, assistance and doctors for your continued excellent care!

Crystal is AWESOME! I give her a 20! I went to Allentown Foot Care for a heel spur and clipping toenails. I asked if they had shoes for my type of feet. Crystal came to my rescue. GOD BLESS her. She got down on her knees and tried on some shoes, unfortunately they weren't for me. She then took a measurement of my foot GOD BLESS her again and showed me a catalog of some shoes and said she could order something like this.
I said yes, that would be great! My shoes came a few weeks later. OMG these shoes are the BEST ones EVER. They fit PERFECTLY! I am so GRATEFUL! Thank you so much Crystal. You are truly a GEM!

Great experience at Allentown Family Foot Care! Very nice and clean facility, everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. The Doctor was a great listener and eager to help and figure out the issue. After a really bad experience at a different local podiatrist, I'm so glad I went to Allentown Family Foot Care for another opinion where I was listened to and taken seriously!

I went here to get fresh second opinion on my condition. I must say that all the staff was excellent and the doctor i saw was very knowledgeable! The doctor explained to me in great detail my condition, took new X-Rays, measured my arches, and even recommended me to a phenomenal shoe store that could help me with finding a the perfect shoe for my condition. This place is top notch and I'll be keeping them as my primary podiatrist for now on!

My entire experience with Dr. Anderson was amazing. She tried everything possible to avoid surgery but in the end surgery became my only option. She explained everything throughout the entire process and my foot is doing great! She is very caring and takes her time with you at each appointment. I would highly recommend her to everyone!

This was one of the most impressive offices I have ever seen. Everything was state-of-the-art and it's cleanliness was impeccable. On top of the office's aesthetics, the doctor and staff were all extremely knowledgeable, polite and kind from the moment I walked in until the moment I left. Everything was explained clearly to me and the doctor did not leave until all of my questions were answered and until I understood everything about my treatment plan. My feet feel fantastic now! I would recommend this office to everyone.
