The Podiatry Group of South Texas is proud to serve the Converse community — including the active-duty service members, veterans, and military families who call this area home. Converse sits just minutes from Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, and Dr. Andrew Gunter, DPM understands the unique demands that military service and an active lifestyle place on the feet and ankles.
Years of marching, rucking, running in boots, and training on hard surfaces take a real toll. Plantar fasciitis, Achilles injuries, stress fractures, flat feet, and ankle instability are among the most common conditions Dr. Gunter sees in patients from the Converse and JBSA-Randolph community. Whether you're active duty managing a service-connected foot issue, a veteran dealing with chronic foot pain that started during service, or a family member looking for same-day care, Dr. Gunter delivers fast, effective, evidence-based treatment.
Dr. Andrew Gunter, DPM is a residency-trained podiatrist specializing in plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, flat feet, Achilles treatment, and custom orthotics. He takes a conservative treatment-first approach focused on getting you back to full function as quickly and safely as possible.
Foot & Ankle Care for an Active Military Community
From plantar fasciitis and stress fractures to custom orthotics and Achilles rehabilitation, Dr. Gunter provides specialized foot and ankle care for the service members, veterans, and active families of Converse and the JBSA-Randolph area.
Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis is the leading foot complaint among active-duty service members and veterans — the result of years of marching, rucking, and standing on hard surfaces. Dr. Gunter diagnoses the root biomechanical cause and builds a personalized treatment plan combining custom orthotics, targeted stretching protocols, and in-office therapy for lasting relief.
Flat Feet (Pes Planus)
Flat foot deformity is significantly more prevalent in veterans than in the general population — often the result of repetitive strain and load during service. Whether your flat feet are causing arch pain, knee pain, or overall fatigue, Dr. Gunter provides both conservative management and custom orthotic solutions tailored to your activity level and lifestyle.
Achilles Tendonitis & Ankle Injuries
Achilles tendon injuries and ankle sprains are among the most common training-related complaints in the military community. Dr. Gunter provides evidence-based treatment for Achilles tendonitis, insertional Achilles pain, and chronic ankle instability — with a focus on full recovery and prevention of re-injury.
Stress Fractures
Stress fractures of the foot are one of the most common injuries in active-duty personnel — caused by repetitive impact from running, jumping, and rucking with heavy loads. Early diagnosis is critical. Dr. Gunter uses in-office evaluation to identify stress fractures quickly and build a recovery plan that protects your long-term foot health.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are one of the most common foot complaints among active-duty service members — caused by tight-fitting boots, improper trimming in the field, and limited access to routine foot care during training and deployment. Dr. Gunter provides fast, in-office ingrown nail treatment with same-day appointments available, including a permanent solution for patients who experience recurring ingrown nails. Most procedures are completed in a single visit with minimal downtime.
All Foot & Ankle Conditions
We also treat: bunions, ball of foot pain (metatarsalgia), custom orthotics, diabetic foot care, hammertoes, fungal nails, neuromas, warts, and more. If it's at the ankle or below, Dr. Gunter can help.
