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. 

Kirk close the letter saying, "Again, it has been a pleasure getting to know and treat you for these many years and I thank you for your confidence in me and for the opportunity to provide medical care."
