CHRISTUS Health announced the opening of a new podiatry clinic, expanding access to specialized foot and ankle care for patients across Southeast Texas.
The new podiatry clinic is led by Dr. Frances LaGrone, podiatrist for CHRISTUS Southeast Texas Health System, who provides comprehensive diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions. There are plans to expand the services at the clinic and add an additional podiatrist to further enhance access to specialized foot and ankle care for the community.
“I’m thrilled to join the CHRISTUS team to continue doing what I love to do,” LaGrone said. “Our goal is to help patients stay active, comfortable and confident by addressing foot and ankle concerns early and providing personalized treatment plans that support long-term mobility and overall health.”
The clinic offers care for conditions including diabetic foot complications, sports injuries, heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, fractures, wound care and other foot and ankle disorders. Preventive screenings and patient education are also key components, helping patients better understand how foot health impacts overall wellness.
“Our team is committed to partnering with patients every step of the way, from prevention to recovery,” LaGrone said. “Healthy feet are essential to maintaining quality of life, and we’re proud to bring this level of specialized care to our community through CHRISTUS Health.”
The clinic is located at 3650 Laurel Ave. in Beaumont and is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon.
“Our community deserves convenient access to high-quality specialty care,” said Kelly Cady, vice president of physician practice operations for CHRISTUS Trinity Clinic. “The addition of podiatry services strengthens our commitment of providing comprehensive specialty services throughout the Southeast Texas region to meet the growing needs of our community.”
