Doctor Afoot, Dr. Erik Lilja

About Doctor Afoot, Dr. Erik Lilja

Doctor Afoot is the mobile podiatry practice of Dr. Erik Lilja, who brings foot and ankle care directly to patients throughout the greater Seattle area rather than seeing them in a traditional office. With more than 18 years of experience as a sports medicine foot and ankle surgeon, Dr. Lilja evaluates and treats sprains, running injuries, ingrown toenails, heel pain, and other foot and ankle concerns, and he carries a full stock of supplies including cast boots, braces, and medications so that many issues can be addressed on the spot. He also performs foot and ankle surgery, including advanced reconstruction, fracture repair, Achilles rupture repair, ankle stabilization, and arthroscopy, and he fits custom orthotics for patients with weak or misaligned foot structures. House calls typically last up to an hour, and the practice operates on a cash-pay basis, providing patients with an itemized bill they can submit to their own insurance if they choose. Doctor Afoot positions itself as a direct, personalized alternative to conventional podiatry visits.
