Welcome and thank you for visiting the Bowser Podiatry web site where complete foot care is just a step away. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Dr. Lloyd T. Bowser, Jr. and I currently reside and practice in Baltimore city.

As a private podiatric practioner, I provide surgical and non-surgical care for a multitude of foot maladies. My background includes specific training for diabetic foot conditions and sports related foot injuries as well as general foot care.

A podiatrist is a doctor who is licensed to treat the foot. This treatment may include prescription drugs, routine trimming of lesions, radiographs (x-rays), and/or surgery of the foot and ankles. In some cases, a podiatrist can also treat leg deformities.

The podiatric physician (Doctor of Podiatric Medicine, or DPM) has received conventional medical training plus special training on the foot, ankle and lower leg. All 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico require that podiatrists pass a rigorous state board examination before being licensed and require continuing education programs for regular license renewal. Some podiatrists do not have formal surgical training and thus may not offer a full range of medical treatments.

Correction of digital deformities such as hammer toes and bunions, bony protrusions such as heel spurs and excision of cysts are common podiatric procedures. Podiatrists also treat common foot ailments such as athletes foot, fungal nails and neuromas. Plastic and reconstructive surgery are also performed by many podiatrists.

I maintain two offices and one clinic in Baltimore City and I am on staff at selected hospitals and surgical centers. I also provide podiatric services to select nursing homes in Baltimore City and Baltimore County. I accept most insurance plans and can help arrange payment plans for non-insured patients. If you're looking for quality health care, please contact me at (410) 464-1398.

Please enjoy this web site.
