/ AREAS WE SERVE / UNIVERSAL CITY
The Podiatry Group of South Texas is proud to serve the Universal City community — a city with a history and identity unlike any other in the San Antonio area. Founded in 1931 as the gateway to Randolph Field, Universal City has been home to generations of Air Force personnel, their families, and the civilian community that grew alongside one of the most important air bases in the country. The red, white, and blue pride that defines this city is genuine, deep-rooted, and present in every aspect of life on Pat Booker Road and throughout the neighborhoods that surround JBSA-Randolph.
Dr. Andrew Gunter, DPM understands the unique foot health demands that come with military service — and the long-term effects that years of physical training, demanding duty requirements, and high-impact activity can leave on feet, ankles, and lower extremities. Whether you are an active-duty airman managing a foot condition between duty cycles, a retired Air Force veteran dealing with the cumulative effects of decades of service, or a family member who needs the kind of attentive podiatric care that keeps you moving and mission-ready in your own life — Dr. Gunter provides the thorough, efficient care that Universal City residents deserve.
From plantar fasciitis and flat feet to ingrown toenails and stress fractures, Dr. Gunter brings residency-level surgical training and a patient-first philosophy to every Universal City patient. He is familiar with the specific demands of military service and the foot conditions that most commonly affect the military community, and he works with most major insurance plans to make care accessible.
Dr. Andrew Gunter, DPM is a residency-trained podiatric surgeon specializing in plantar fasciitis, flat feet, stress fractures, ingrown toenail care, Achilles tendon conditions, and diabetic foot care. He trained at NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell and brings that standard of care to every Universal City patient.
Foot & Ankle Care for Universal City's Military Community and Beyond
From plantar fasciitis and flat feet to stress fractures and diabetic foot care, Dr. Gunter provides comprehensive podiatric services for Universal City's service members, veterans, military families, and civilian residents — with the efficiency and thoroughness this community expects.
Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Pain
Plantar fasciitis is among the most common foot conditions affecting military personnel and veterans — the cumulative impact of years of physical training, extended standing duty, and high-mileage activity takes a predictable toll on the plantar fascia. Dr. Gunter identifies the mechanical root cause of your heel pain and builds a treatment plan tailored to your activity level and lifestyle, which may include custom orthotics, targeted therapy, and in-office treatment for lasting relief. Same-day appointments available.
Flat Feet & Military Foot Profiles
Flat feet are one of the most prevalent foot conditions in the military population and a frequent reason service members are placed on a physical profile. Whether you are managing flat feet that have contributed to chronic pain, dealing with arch fatigue from demanding duty requirements, or looking for custom orthotics to improve comfort and function, Dr. Gunter provides thorough evaluation and evidence-based treatment options including prescription custom orthotics designed for your specific foot structure.
Stress Fractures & Training Injuries
Stress fractures of the foot and ankle are among the most common overuse injuries in military service — caused by the repetitive high-impact demands of running, marching, and training. They are frequently underdiagnosed because early-stage stress fractures may not show on standard X-rays. Dr. Gunter provides thorough evaluation including clinical assessment and appropriate imaging, and a structured treatment plan that promotes complete healing before return to full activity.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are among the highest-volume conditions in any podiatry practice and are particularly common in populations that wear boots or restrictive footwear regularly. Dr. Gunter provides same-day in-office evaluation and treatment for painful ingrown toenails, with most cases resolved in a single visit. For patients with recurring ingrown toenails, a permanent correction procedure prevents regrowth of the offending nail edge.
Achilles Tendon & Ankle Conditions
Achilles tendinitis, chronic ankle instability from repeated sprains, and tendon injuries are common long-term consequences of sustained military physical activity. Dr. Gunter provides conservative-first evaluation and a staged treatment plan for Achilles and ankle conditions, focused on restoring full function and preventing recurrence. For Universal City's active-duty service members, a clear timeline and return-to-duty guidance is part of every treatment plan.
Diabetic Foot Care & All Conditions
For Universal City veterans and older residents managing diabetes, Dr. Gunter provides comprehensive annual foot exams, wound detection, vascular assessment, and preventive care coordinated with your care team. Annual exams are covered by Medicare. Dr. Gunter also treats: bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, fungal nails, skin conditions, and more. Most major insurance plans accepted — including Tricare.
