    I am an orthopaedic surgeon with specialized training in foot and ankle surgery. Prior to becoming a physician, I worked as a physical therapist. My focus has always been on assisting patients in returning to the activities they enjoy. This entails understanding each patient's current limitations and future goals to develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs. I believe in optimizing non-surgical options using various modalities while ensuring patients comprehend their surgical options for when or if the time is appropriate to pursue that route. In my practice, I address a wide range of foot and ankle issues, including bunions, achilles injuries, fractures, and complex foot reconstruction, with a particular emphasis on acute foot and ankle trauma and revision surgery. One aspect I appreciate about Duke Health is the ability to collaborate with other surgeons, therapists, and physicians to devise a comprehensive plan that suits each patient. During my leisure time, you'll often find me running, biking, or chasing after my two energetic boys.

    I’ve been in practice for over 20 years and specialize in foot and ankle conditions. My patients tend to have a variety of foot ailments, including bunions, arthritis, and toenail and skin problems. I also treat diabetic patients who are having issues with their feet as well as sports injuries. When I see a patient, I try to find out their treatment goals. Whether the patient wants to pursue therapy or surgery, I try to come up with a treatment plan that meets their needs. My mother influenced my decision to pursue podiatry. She worked for a podiatrist when I was entering high school, and I remember how much she enjoyed the work. There are many things I like about my work, but the most fulfilling aspect is that I can often provide instant relief to patients. In my spare time, I enjoy working in my yard, playing ice hockey and hiking. Dr. Schreyack is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Plantar Fasciitis.

    I am a foot and ankle specialist treating various ailments and foot-related problems. My approach to medicine is shaped by my personal experience with foot problems since childhood. I was very active growing up and played sports through high school and college while struggling with foot pain. Becoming a podiatric surgeon has afforded me the opportunity to treat and alleviate patients' foot-related problems with an emphasis on quality of life. I believe in conservative care as the gateway to restoring foot health but also offer surgical options to achieve the ultimate goal of symptom relief. While I treat multiple issues related to the foot, I have a special interest in wound care and emphasize the importance of limb salvage for my high-risk patients. My approach is multifaceted, often incorporating other medical specialties to create a comprehensive treatment plan for my patients. On a personal note, I'm interested in health and fitness, writing, and retro gaming. Above all, I enjoy spending time with my wife and kids and look forward to our yearly trip to visit my wife's family in southern Spain.

    One of my earliest memories was seeing my podiatrist as a young child. My doctor was caring, funny, and willing to spend time explaining to a very curious and sometimes scared child why needed custom orthotics was necessary for my painful feet. It was a wonderful relationship that I still cherish and why I feel very honored to now be on the other end of that relationship and able to provide care to my patients. Much of my decision-making is driven not only by my role as a healthcare provider but also by my experiences as a patient. I have a special interest in the treatment pathways for heel pain, ingrown nails and forefoot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes. In my free time, I enjoy traveling with my family, scouting out new restaurants, and trying to brew the perfect cup of coffee.

    I am a surgically trained podiatrist seeing patients of all ages for foot and ankle conditions. I utilize a conservative approach to my practice and only recommend surgery after all practical conservative treatment options have been considered. Sometimes the greatest satisfaction is working with a patient to find a nonoperative solution to a problem they thought would require major surgery. I am originally from Wisconsin and Minnesota and return to the Midwest whenever I can to see friends and family. I enjoy hiking, going to the gym, playing tennis, traveling, and spending time with my fiancée and our dog.

    When should I see a Plantar Fasciitis doctor near Durham, NC?

    There are various reasons why you may want to see a specialist, such as: 

    • Your primary care provider recommends it. 
    • Your condition requires expert knowledge and specialized care. 
    • Your symptoms persist or worsen despite treatment. 
    • You need specialized testing or procedures. 
    • You want a second opinion.  

    What should I consider when choosing a Plantar Fasciitis doctor near Durham, NC?

    It’s important to see a provider with expertise in your specific condition. Each provider profile in MediFind’s doctor database includes information on which conditions they treat, years of experience, research contributions, languages spoken, insurance plans accepted, and more.  

    How does MediFind rank Plantar Fasciitis doctors near Durham, NC?

    MediFind’s rankings are based on a variety of data sources, such as the number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials and industry conferences, as well as the number of patients that provider sees for a given condition. Note that MediFind’s provider database is not based on user reviews, and providers do not pay to be included in the database. 

    What types of insurance are accepted by Plantar Fasciitis doctors near Durham, NC?

    Most profiles in MediFind’s doctor database include a list of insurance plans accepted by that provider. However, it’s a good idea to contact the provider’s office to make sure they still accept your insurance, then doublecheck by contacting your insurance plan to confirm they’re in network. 

    How can I book an appointment online with a Plantar Fasciitis doctor near Durham, NC?

    MediFind offers direct scheduling for certain providers using the “Request Appointment” button on that provider’s profile. If the schedule option is not available for a provider, tap the red “Show Phone Number” button on their profile to get their contact information. If you prefer to find providers who offer online scheduling, select “Schedules online” under the “Availability” category of the filter feature on the left side of the Plantar Fasciitis doctor search results page. 

    Why is it important to get a second opinion from a different Plantar Fasciitis doctor?

    Second opinions are an opportunity to confirm a diagnosis and its root cause, learn about alternative treatment options, or simply gain peace of mind. Many people, especially those with serious diagnoses, get second opinions so they can understand all their options and make informed decisions, so don’t hesitate to get one if you have any doubts or need more information or clarification regarding your care. Note that some insurance plans require second opinions, while others don’t cover second opinions, so be sure to confirm with your insurance provider first.   

    How can I prepare for my appointment with a Plantar Fasciitis doctor near Durham, NC?

    Prepare for your appointment by gathering the following items: 

    • Copies of medical records (dating back at least one year) 
    • Your medical history, including illnesses, medical conditions, surgeries, and other doctors you see 
    • Family history of disease 
    • List of current prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal remedies or supplements including names and doses 
    • Allergies to medications, food, latex, insects, etc.  
    • List of questions and concerns 
    • Your insurance card 

    You might also contact the provider’s office to see if they offer transportation or childcare services or if you’re allowed to bring a loved one for support or to take notes during your visit. 

    What questions should I ask my Plantar Fasciitis doctor?

    Here are some sample questions: 

    • Can you explain in simple terms what this condition is and how it’s treated? 
    • What symptoms or side effects should I watch for? 
    • What tests will be involved, and when can I expect results? 
    • Are there other specialists I need to see? 
    • What’s the best way to reach you if I have follow-up questions? 

    How can I learn about the latest clinical trials and research advances my Plantar Fasciitis doctor may know about?

    MediFind’s Clinical Trials tool asks you a series of questions to help you narrow down your search by health condition, age, gender, location, how far you’re willing to travel, and more. Each question you answer filters down the number of trials until you find the ones that are most relevant to you. 

    MediFind’s Latest Advances tool features summaries of recent articles published in medical journals. We use cutting-edge technology to scour medical publication databases for the latest research advancements on any given condition, then we simplify this information in a way that’s useful and easy to understand. 

    Can I filter my search to show male or female Plantar Fasciitis doctors near Durham, NC?

    Look for the filter feature on the left side of the Plantar Fasciitis doctor search results page. Select “Female” or “Male” under the “Gender” category to search for female or male providers exclusively. If the “Any” option is selected, it will pull results for both male and female providers. 

    Can I filter my search to find a Plantar Fasciitis doctor that offers video calls?

    Look for the filter feature on the left-side of the Plantar Fasciitis doctor search results page. Select “Offers telehealth visits” under the Availability category to search for providers who offer virtual appointments (video calls).
