Tidewater Foot and Ankle Associates Welcomes Dr. Kyle Johnson to the Practice

By Deborah Bostock-Kelley

Did you know the human foot contains 28 bones, approximately 30 joints, and over 100 different muscles, tendons, and ligaments?

“The foot has many moving parts and is a complex structure. There’s a lot of things that can go wrong,” said Dr. Kyle Johnson.

And he should know.

Dr. Johnson is board certified in foot surgery and reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery.

He has seen it all as a specialist in a mixture of podiatric medicine and reconstructive surgery now at Tidewater Foot and Ankle Associates.

Visiting Our Florida Beaches? Please Read!

In preparation for Labor Day weekend in early September, I wanted to give you a quick update on the conditions of our beautiful beaches with the current red tide situation.

Red tide it’s not a new occurrence in Florida, but water pollution, climate change, and the recent Tropical Storm Elsa may have worsened the proliferation of this naturally occurring phenomenon.

During red tide, a collection of harmful algae and other microscopic marine organisms called “Karenia Brevis” grows and accumulates in toxic and harmful “blooms,” which are highly deadly to fish and unpleasant for humans.

High concentrations of red tide “blooms” have been reported throughout several counties, including Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Manatee, and Sarasota.

Tons of dead fish carcasses have been washed ashore in Florida’s Gulf Coast beaches and waterfront parks due to the harmful effects of red tide on marine life.

The Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce (TBBCoC) released an update stating that on Wednesday, July 21, “the water along the beaches from St. Pete Beach to Belleair Shores is very discolored, and the aerosols were extremely strong. The beaches from Madeira north to Indian Rocks are heavily impacted. Each municipality has been actively working to remove the dead fish, and contractor resources were deployed as needed to assist.”

That characteristic “gross dead fish smell” is definitely more overpowering in certain areas, and respiratory irritation has been reported by several residents of Pinellas County and Hillsborough county. If you or any family member experience respiratory discomfort and irritation, please wear a mask. Make sure to cover your nose and mouth to filter

out marine aerosol particles containing red tide toxins. If you’re asthmatic or have chronic lung disease, be vigilant about taking your prescribed meds daily. The state health department recommends that people with such diseases try their best to avoid beaches currently affected by the red tide. Always seek medical care if your symptoms worsen.

Bathing and swimming are okay for most people. However, red tide can cause skin irritation and burning eyes. Use common sense— if you are particularly susceptible to irritation from plant products, avoid red tidewater. If you experience irritation, get out and thoroughly wash off. Avoid swimming among dead fish because they are associated with harmful bacteria.

Ongoing cleanup efforts are slowly but effectively improving the beaches’ condition, but you must proceed cautiously. I would personally like to take this opportunity to thank our Governor, city officials, city workers, shrimping boat captains, local fishermen, and every member and volunteer involved in the cleaning efforts of our beaches.

For the latest Red Tide status report (available by phone), call 866-300-9399 at any time.

I encourage anyone planning a fun beach weekend to check out https// visitbeaches.org for the most updated information on beach conditions.

P.S. Happy National Dog Month to all Dog Owners!!! Just make sure your pup stays away from the dead fish if you’re strolling down our beaches! August celebrates our lovable canine pals, so make sure you do something special for your four-legged best friend during these dog days of summer.

Until next time,

Carla M. Dubis Tedeschi.

Tech Talk with Bob: Did you keep the box?

Do you act like a kid when you get a new tech toy? I know I do. It’s fine to be excited when you open the box. I would suggest however, you open it in a manner that does not destroy the integrity of the box and not damage or obscure any labels attached to its exterior. Be gentle because even after the device is removed, the box can still offer valuable protection.

Most stores offer return policies if your new device doesn’t work.

Become familiar with the return policy of any store before you spend your money. Some stores give cash refunds. Others only offer exchanges. Rarely you may find a store that has no return policy, and you must deal directly with the device’s manufacturer warranty.

Know your options should your new device come out of the box defective.

Keep the box in nice condition until you know your new device is functioning properly. Most stores will not accept returns without the device’s original packaging. If you purchased online, you need the box to safely ship it back to the seller.

How long should you keep the box? At minimum, at least as long as the store’s return policy.

Unfortunately, I have seen people get stuck with a lemon because they

8 AUGUST 2021

threw the box away too soon. Hey if you bought a new laptop computer and it works, that’s wonderful! That’s what you expect. However, if you throw the box away the day after you buy the laptop, and then it fails a week later, you may have a difficult time convincing the store to take it back. Then your only recourse will be dealing with the manufacturer.

And that could take weeks or even months. Whereas if you had the packaging, you could take it right back to the store for an immediate refund or exchange.

When the time finally comes to discard the box be sure to do this first. Either scan or take a picture of the labels on the box exterior that give the details of your device. I have included an example. This is a great way to identify and document your laptop’s particulars, especially if it is lost or stolen. The brand, model, series, part number, serial number and other details are on these labels. Did you write down the serial number of your laptop? Taking a couple of pictures can avoid not having this information and avoids mistakes or illegible handwriting. In the world of computers, there is a big difference between the number zero and the letter O; the number one or the letter I. What’s the saying? A picture is worth a thousand words.

Just remember to save the picture somewhere other than on the laptop itself and always print a hard copy for your paper file.

Never forget, cyber criminals will exploit the easy victims and unprotected systems. Whether you are a business or nonprofit who keeps records about clients, customers, prospects, employees, vendors, sales, budgets, inventories… you get the idea. It is your responsibility to protect your personal network, your computer’s operation, and your data. Even a home user who may keep records

about club members, kids sports leagues, volunteer work, or just filing your income taxes on your home computer, is a target.

How safe is your computer? My staff and I are here to keep your computer safer and stay running. You don’t have to go it alone my Friend.

We have the best solutions already in place and we’re here to help. If you question your computer’s safety or performance, call us now at 727534-4000. We’ve been helping folks restore their peace of mind, and sanity, with their technology for decades.

SAT AND ACT IMPROVEMENT: FALL IS HERE!

By Dr. Wayne Adams FALL EXAM DATES: SAT: August 28, October 2, December 4; ACT: September 11, October 23, December 11.

Summer vacation went by too fast! Now that school has restarted (or is about to), everyone gets to refocus and get ready for the fall. Happily, most Covid 19 concerns are behind us, college campuses are reopening, and life is moving on.

For Seniors, it’s a combination of doing well academically, activities, and preparing the best college applications. From my prior articles, you know that more and more and more colleges are admitting up to half their classes or more with early admissions and the chances of admissions are about three times higher than with applying at the normal time. Check out these dates and requirements on the college websites, or call the admissions office. If your SAT and/or ACT scores are not where you want for admissions and/or Bright Futures, give me a call.

For Juniors, it’s the middledistance lap in high school balancing academics and activities with doing well on the PSAT in October and building a resume for college applications. If you are aiming high, for a “top 25 school”, know that the best way to really “stand out” is to build a distinctive strength, to become outstanding in some field that you enjoy. There is a myth around that colleges are looking for “well rounded” students. Top colleges want “lopsided” students, those who have something outstanding (other than grades and SAT/ACT scores) and can change the world.

They equate “well-rounded” with mediocre!

For Sophomores, it’s the next lap in a longer-distance run with academics, activities, and longer term planning for college applications. On occasion,

10 AUGUST 2021

schools will give an SAT or an ACT exam for “placement”, which means determining which academic level courses that student can take. If you are aiming high for colleges it is not too early to start preparing for the SAT and/or ACT exams.

I continue to innovate with new approaches to all areas of exam prep. For example, Reverse Engineering and interactively taking the Writing and Language section of the SAT and English section of the ACT produce major improvements; “6 strategies” on the ‘yellow brick road” is a smash hit for Reading on the SAT, and “Reading for what you need” on the ACT do the same on the ACT Reading giving most students an additional 4-5 minutes to find the answers on this exam; special preparation for “Curve Balls” in math jump a student’s score while greatly improving self-confidence on both exams; and “Bottomup Reading” and “Five key strategies” are making a great difference on the Science part of the ACT. My guide Achieve and Maintain Your Peak Mental Performance Zone On The SAT, ACT, And In Life has proven to be very helpful to all students in handling “test anxiety”, maintaining focus, and reestablishing control during these exams.

A surprising finding about the staggering level of student debt at $1.7 trillion (with a “T”) recently exploded with a Wall Street Journel expose article about how elite and other universities are heavily marketing master’s degrees that they know will never pay back enough to justify the education.

For example, a Master’s in Fine Arts from Columbia in NYC puts many students $300k in debt for jobs that maybe pay $50k a year. Another article showed that an MBA from Harvard Business School produced a 1.8 multiple

from the average debt to the average first year compensation including hiring bonus. UF ranked second on this relationship with almost a 6:1 multiple. Plus, UF grads usually work in lower cost areas, so their money goes farther. The point is that, when considering an undergraduate major, take a close look at options for a masters degree in that field including costs, possible debt, and starting salaries.

Never forget that universities are a business, and many make a 70% cash flow profit on their masters degrees, get paid up front, and saddle many students with debt for the rest of their lives without blinking an eye. See https://www.wsj.com/articles/ financially-hobbled-for-life-theelite-masters-degrees-that-dontpay-off-11625752773. You can find many more articles about this on-line.

As you know, my goal for my students and their families is that they have their best possible futures – which includes doing their best on the SAT and/or ACT Exams. This is part of the college admissions counseling and planning we also do during our course.

Small dining room details that can make a major statement

by Decorating Den | Design Inspiration The dining room is a place for family and friends to gather after long days apart. It’s a place to play catch-up over a hot, home-cooked meal. A place to have game night and share laughs for hours. No matter how you utilize the dining room, it’s a special place for many.

It deserves stylish decor and design elements that will make it shine.

The dining room table is generally the focal point of this space, but there are many ways to decorate around this statement piece in an effort to unite the whole room.

Thinking of giving your dining room a revamp in the near future? Here are a few small ways to make a major statement on your journey to redesign: 1. Add an accent wall Instead of repainting all four walls of the dining room, pick some vertical space

to create a stunning accent wall. You can do this with another shade of paint, or you can use wallpaper to add more texture in the space.

2. Choosing shelves instead of cabinetry Placing a large form of vintage cabinetry in the dining room is the traditional route. If your design style is more transitional or contemporary,

choose from the many outstanding buffets that will make your dining room the room in which you will want to entertain and show off.

3. Don’t forget the area rug An area rug is a must in the dining room, as it can add that level of comfort you’ve come to crave in this area of the home. If you want to go big and bold, choose a color, pattern or texture that makes this the focal point of the space. Make sure that the area rug extends out far enough so that chairs will still remain on top of the rug when they are pulled out for use.

4. Mix up the centerpiece Instead of having a concrete centerpiece, why not mix things up to match the season? This can be a fun opportunity to follow seasonal themes while choosing pieces

that still complement the rest of the room.

5. Decorate with mirrors The dining room is a place for conversation, a space that exudes livelihood. The easiest way to keep this place vibrant and refreshing is to prioritize natural lighting. Sheer curtains is one way to do this, but decorating with mirrors is another hack that works. It’s a simple way to bounce the light around the room and can even make the space feel larger than it actually is.

Need help along the way?

Call Decorating Den Interiors (see our ad on page 11!)

With a level of normalcy finally entering our lives again, it’s safe to say that you’ll likely be gathering with family and friends on a more regular basis in the near future. It’s always a great time to make your living space feel more like home.

“Tidewater”

continued from page 1

You may recognize the last name from Dr. Megan Johnson, practice founder, and you’d be correct in assuming the two are related. After seven years in private practice in the Largo/ Clearwater area, in 2021, Dr. Johnson joined his wife at Tidewater Foot and Ankle Associates.

“I love being able to collaborate with my wife and work side-by-side with her.”

A local Palm Harbor native and East Lake High School graduate, while earning his bachelor’s degree at USF, he worked in the orthotics and prosthetics department at Shriner’s Hospital where he crafted limbs and braces for children with various deformities and limb correction.

“I saw a wide array of pathology involving the lower extremities - the legs, ankles, and feet. I wanted to get more into the medical and surgical side of patient care that way.”

After medical school, he completed a 3-year surgical residency at the Yale Foot and Ankle Surgical Residency affiliated with Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, CT. At Tidewater Foot and Ankle Associates, Dr. Johnson specializes in flatfoot management and surgical correction, Achilles repair, Haglunds deformity correction, arthritis management of the foot and ankle, cartilage preservation, sports medicine, tendon and ligament repair, traumatic injury correction and fracture care, bunion correction, diabetic limb salvage, and lower extremity biomechanics.

In layman’s terms, he does extensive evaluation of watching patients walk and how their foot and ankle moves, and how that relates to the rest of the lower extremity – including problems associated with

14 AUGUST 2021

the knee, hip and back.

“This is very important to be able to understand function and educate patients why they have certain symptoms and conditions. Patient counseling and education is very important to us.”

When treating diabetic patients, many times, because they don’t have much feeling in their feet due to diabetic neuropathy, patients don’t realize they have a wound, infection or injury. This puts them at risk for having dangerous problems. Some symptoms include skin color change, swelling, loss of hair growth, numbness, pain, cramping, and burning with walking.

“Pressure areas with calluses or blistering are high risk for problems.

If we can catch that early and treat it, we can prevent many long-term issues including ulcers, infection and limb loss. We are very proactive with patient education, especially with diabetic patients, so that they understand their condition, and risk factors related to their foot type, sensation and circulation. We’re very aggressive in identifying problems early on”, he said. “With diabetic limb salvage work, many times we can save someone from losing their toe(s), foot or leg, and that is always very gratifying.”

BACK-TO-SCHOOL FOOT PAIN With kids going back to school, the practice sees many kids complaining of pain in their feet that was once dismissed as ‘growing pains’.

“We see a lot of issues with kids and heel pain. Heel pain and arch pain rank among the most common complaints among students who wear flip-flops. Flip-flops do not cushion or support the foot, so repetitive stress from walking can inflame that heel bone growth area and cause pain and tenderness.”

Obesity and overuse injuries such as playing multiple sports (often times requiring cleats), can also play a role. Dr. Johnson stresses that all complaints of foot or ankle pain should be addressed.

“Heel pain in children is different than adults. Typically the heel bone in kids doesn’t fully develop until age 14 or 15. In kids ages 8 to 14, pain and inflammation occurs along the growth plate and Achilles tendon area. A low or high-arch foot can put the child at risk for acute and chronic problems.

Pain is not always from natural growing pains, and it is essential to identify that early on and have it evaluated and treated. We encourage parents to bring their children for an

evaluation,” he stressed. “Whenever your child says they’re experiencing pain or fatigue, that’s never normal. It should be checked out.”

Dr. Johnson notes that his favorite part about being in this field is his specialization.

“It’s understanding and being an expert in everything involved with the lower leg, ankle, and foot, and being equipped to treat every condition and problem that occurs in that area of the body.”

REGENERATIVE MEDICINE For adult patients who have tried steroid injections, over-the-counter or custom orthotics, physical therapy, and shockwave therapy (ESWT), the practice now offers state-ofthe-art FDA-cleared regenerative medicine treatment indicated for acute and chronic conditions such as: plantar fasciitis/fasciosis, Achilles tendonitis/tendinosis, posterior tibial tendoninitis, peroneal tendinitis, painful scar tissue, and ligament damage in severe sprains.

“Regenerative therapy utilizes fetal umbilical cord and amniotic tissue particulate. It’s a safe and effective treatment to combat inflammatory and degenerative disease and serves

Dr. Megan Johnson as a great non-surgical treatment option. The procedure is performed in-office under local anesthesia and ultrasound-guidance.”

The practice specializes in dental implants with an emphasis on the Same Day Teeth® procedure created

18 AUGUST 2021

by Dr. Michael A. Pikos.

Same Day Teeth® is an innovative surgical procedure that bypasses the traditional dental implant’s time-consuming process and allows for the placement of implants and new teeth to occur on the very same day.

Same Day Teeth® protocol begins with a 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, which will provide us with 3D images of your bone,

nerve pathways, soft tissues, and teeth, which allows us to determine the optimal placement of your implants using the best digital assessment software and related stateof-the-art technology to ensure that your treatment is truly customized. Most service providers, especially corporate-based, treat everyone the same way with the one-size-fits-all mentality. You are as unique as your fingerprint and as

a result, we draw from a variety of digital-based, precision solutions to give you a customized beautiful natural smile and restore your ability to eat and chew foods that you love. Our unique approach not only includes a comprehensive treatment plan for each of our patients, but also a thorough explanation.

“The best around not only in Florida but I am convinced the best in the nation”, states Nicholas

From left to right Dr. Philip J. Hedger, Dr. Jason B. Blundell, Dr. Nicole Hernandez, Dr. Michael A. Pikos, Dr. Lindsey Pikos Rosati, Dr. Kenneth L. Anderson III, and Dr. Anthony M. Pikos Louis. Nicholas received traditional dental implants for his Same Day Teeth® procedure. Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed in your jaw to support replacement teeth. These replacement teeth are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, restore the aesthetic appearance of your smile, provide optimal functionality, and reduce your risk of developing other oral health issues.

Coastal Jaw Surgery offers several dental implant options to ensure your smile is natural and custom to you.

Same Day Teeth® offers patients a beautiful, natural smile completed on the same day with the use of

dental implants, zygomatic implants, or subperiosteal implants. Patients who are missing all of the teeth in their upper jaw or whose teeth have broken down due to advanced periodontal disease may be good candidates for zygomatic dental implants.

These implants are longer and anchored in the upper jawbone near the zygoma bone. Patients who are experiencing significant bone loss in the lower jaw may be good candidates for subperiosteal implants.

This type of implant must be custom-made to fit the contours of a patient’s bone. Whether it is traditional dental implants, zygomatic implants, or subperiosteal implants,

we have a solution to your missing teeth or loose dentures.

If you have been told you can’t have dental implants due to bone loss, Coastal Jaw Surgery is the answer for you. Our doctors have the opportunity to help you with missing teeth or ill-fitted dentures now with Same Day Teeth®’s solutions to traditional dental implants.

We encourage second opinions. We want to make sure that the best treatment possible is presented to you so the end result gives you back your smile and self-confidence.
