Welcome to the Podiatric Medical Practice of Dr. Mark H. Tompkins, D.P.M., P.C. We look forward to working with you in providing state of the art, compassionate, family foot care. Dr. Tompkins treats all podiatric medical-related foot problems and conditions from pediatrics to geriatrics. He has special interests and training in reconstructive foot/ankle surgery and sports-related injuries and prevention.

The office will work with you to schedule a convenient time for your visit. If you have any questions regarding office visits or insurance-related questions, please call our office, 210-341-2202. Please leave a name and number for us to contact you in the event the office is closed.

The medical exchange number is 210-525-2034 if the call is of an emergent nature. Dr. Tompkins will be contacted and return your call in the case of an emergency. Please use this number in cases of emergency only. If in doubt, call 911, or go to your local emergency room and have Dr. Tompkins contacted through the medical exchange. That number again is 210-525-2034.

The office participates with most major insurance carriers in South Texas and will work with your primary care physician's office to obtain appropriate referral authorization(s) if necessary. However, it is the individual patient's responsibility to insure that proper pre-authorization is achieved prior to your office visit . If you have an HMO, PPO, or related insurance plan, and are unsure if pre-authorization is necessary, contact your individual insurance carrier and/or your primary care physician's office, prior to your office visit.

Dr. Tompkins and his staff recognize that each patient's individual time is important. We will work diligently to ‘run on schedule'; however, unforeseen circumstances sometimes dictate otherwise. If you have particular time-sensitive issues related to your office visit, please inform the staff when scheduling your appointment, and when you arrive at the office. Earlier appointments between 9:30-10:30 am and 1:30-3:30 pm normally run closer to scheduled times.

We look forward to working with you and helping you stay ‘footloose and fancy-free'!
