Lutheran Health Physicians family medicine in Bluffton welcomed a new provider to their team at 303 S. Main St.
E. Alex Lebrija, DPM, FACFAS, is a board-certified podiatrist who cares for patients in need of medical and surgical treatment for disorders, diseases and injuries of the feet and ankles. As a podiatrist, Dr. Lebrija diagnoses, treats and prescribes medication to patients and often detects undiagnosed health problems, such as diabetes, arthritis and heart disease.
Conditions treated include bunions, calluses and corns, diabetes-related conditions, flat feet, foot and ankle fractures/injuries, gout, hammer toe, ingrown toenails, plantar fasciitis and warts.
Dr. Lebrija completed his medical education at Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine in Miami, Florida. He has been practicing medicine for more than two decades, most recently at Logansport Memorial Hospital.
“I take pride in giving individual attention to each patient,” said Dr. Lebrija. “It is my oath to take time and listen to each patient’s complaint. With this approach it is my hope that everyone feels comfortable with my understanding of their problem and my formulation of a plan to help them. I feel it is an honor to treat each patient that walks into my office.”
