It is with bittersweet feelings that Dr. Scales would like to announce his retirement from 30+ years of podiatric practice as many of his patients have become friends with he and his wife over the years. Rocky Mountain Foot and Ankle Centers have an impeccable reputation with patient care! They also have 3 other office locations to serve you throughout the Denver metro area.

Their primary office is just down the road in Wheat Ridge, and they also have other offices in Evergreen, and Thornton. If patients are asked to describe the office of Dr. Scales and the staff at Foot Health Center of Colorado in one word, we hope the word "caring" is the first thing that comes to mind.

Our feet continually expand and contract as we move around. The plantar fascia is a band of connective tissue along the bottom of the foot, from the heel bone up to the toes. It supports the arch of the foot, and stretches whenever we walk. Unfortunately, sometimes our ligaments fail under too much stress, and tearing can occur at microscopic levels within the tissue.
The skin of your foot may be tough, but contains many small cuts, cracks, or other vulnerabilities. Walking barefoot in public areas may leave your feet prey to a number of viruses found around communal pools, footpaths, or showers. The Human Papilloma Virus is fairly common and very contagious, lasting up to several months on its own.

Dr. Scales is so amazing at his job. He is nice, caring and makes you feel like you are being heard. I had the worst foot pain being on my feet working. In one visit he knew what was wrong and got me custom shoe inserts. Instantly felt better. He is the only doctor I will go to for my feet. Thank you for changing my life Dr. Scales! Oh and not to the mention the lady at the front desk is so nice.

Dr. Scales is truly one of the most genuine human beings you will ever meet. He did a great job. He does not make you wait. And he's not arrogant like OTHERS.

I saw Dr. James today for my "ingrown". Turns out I have something else and he was able to properly diagose it. He didn't try to sell me further services I didn't need and took the time to talk to me about how to move forward. I would recommend him to anyone. A+

Dr Scales accurately diagnosed my problem with an x-ray and examination in his office. I scheduled my surgery with him at the time of diagnosis. Amazingly, 4 weeks after surgery I was carrying a 90 pound pack for a two week trip into the Cirque of the Towers. I climbed multiple rock routes without a problem. I never once had any issues with the surgical site even though I put my foot through the ringer both climbing and carrying a heavy pack for many miles. And I am not a young man! Dr. Scales is a skilled surgeon and Podiatrist. Highly recommended.
