Your Guide
Dr. Melissa J. Lockwood
As founder of Heartland Foot and Ankle Associates, P.C., Dr. Melissa J. Lockwood has guided her patients with varying foot problems since opening the practice in 2008.
Her empathy and compassion is second to none. She understands that your foot pain is prohibiting you from doing what you love doing most.
Her goal for every patient is to get you back to your desired level of activity as quickly as possible.

State-of-the-Art Care for the Whole Family
At Heartland Foot & Ankle, we don’t think you should have to choose between a practice with advanced treatment options or one with a relaxed, family-first atmosphere. Our mission from the very beginning has been to give our patients both!
As a doctor, a mother, and the only female podiatrist practicing in McLean county, I welcome you to our practice! Nothing is more important to me than ensuring all our patients—from toddlers to great grandparents—feel comfortable, welcome, and well-cared for. That philosophy extends to everything we do, including the quality of our treatment options, our friendly service, and the personal attention we give to every patient, young and old.
