Bluffton Foot and Ankle, a medical practice at 148 N. Main St. in Bluffton, has announced that it will close on January 1, 2026.
A letter from Daniel W. Kirk, D.P.M., to patients notes, "The increasing overhead costs have made it unsustainable to keep the practice open. I will not be able to provide medical care after that date. I will provide your medical care up until then."
Kirk will be providing care at The Disease Management Center located at 950 S. Main St. in Celina.
