Southaven is the largest city we serve, and our Goodman Road–area office keeps care close for patients who would otherwise drive into Memphis. Athletes from Snowden Grove and the area's high school programs come to us for heel pain, ankle sprains, and turf toe; older patients come for diabetic foot checks, nail care, and wound treatment.
Because many Southaven patients work full schedules, early-morning appointment slots may be available for surgical and wound-care visits — ask about current availability when you call. Some in-office procedures — ingrown toenail removal, debridement, injections — may be completed in a single visit when clinically appropriate, and most care happens in the office rather than at a hospital.
Getting here: Our Southaven office is easy to reach from Goodman Road (MS-302), Getwell Road, and I-55 or I-69/Church Road. We care for patients across DeSoto County, Mississippi, including the Southaven Towne Center, Snowden Grove Park, BankPlus Amphitheater, Baptist Memorial Hospital–DeSoto areas.
Diabetic wound care on Goodman Road
Our Southaven office at 928 Goodman Road East serves patients from across the city, from the Towne Center area to neighborhoods off Getwell and Airways. Many Southaven patients work full schedules, so we try to make wound visits efficient: evaluation, debridement when needed, dressings, and offloading are often handled in the same appointment.
A lot of the wounds we see in Southaven start small: a rub spot from work shoes, a toe blister after a long day at a ballgame, or a sore under a callus. With neuropathy, these can go unnoticed for days. Checking your feet every evening and calling at the first sign of a break in the skin is one of the most useful habits a person with diabetes can build.
Keeping care local
Most wound care can be done in our office instead of a hospital. When a wound needs more, such as advanced imaging, a vascular study, or IV antibiotics, we coordinate with your primary care doctor and local specialists so you know what comes next and who to call.
If Southaven isn't convenient on a given week, our Hernando office uses the same phone number and can see you there.
Why board-certified podiatrists in Hernando & Southaven
Dr. Michael G. Lyons and Dr. Robert J. Wenzler are board-certified foot and ankle surgeons (DPMs). Foot wounds are a central part of their everyday practice. That means one team can treat the wound, address the bone, tendon, or pressure problem behind it, and perform foot surgery if it's ever needed, without sending you elsewhere. Both offices use one phone number, so you can be seen wherever is easier that week.
When to seek emergency care: if a foot wound comes with fever, chills, rapidly spreading redness, a foul smell with feeling very unwell, or skin turning black, go to the nearest emergency room. For a new or non-healing sore without those signs, call 662-449-3663 to be seen in the office.
