WELCOME TO
NY Foot & Ankle Specialists

Foot and ankle surgeons are podiatric physicians who specialize in the surgical and nonsurgical treatment of a variety of conditions that affect people of every age.

A foot and ankle surgeon holds an advanced degree as a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM). Podiatric medicine deals with the bones, soft tissues, and function of the foot and ankle, as well as how podiatric conditions may relate to other parts of the body.

Foot and ankle surgeons provide a wide range of care-from nonsurgical methods to correct common podiatric problems to state-of-the-art corrective and reconstructive surgical techniques.

NY Foot & Ankle Specialists are board certified in American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery and American Board of Podiatric Medicine

Diabetic Foot Exams

For people with diabetes even the smallest blister, sore, or cut on the foot can pose tremendous risks. Something as minor as an irritation from a small pebble in a shoe can quickly progress from a wound that doesn’t heal to a dangerous infection that can lead to serious complications and even a life threatening situation.

Neuropathy

Neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves in the body. Each nerve has a special covering and when that covering is damaged, the nerve doesn't function normally. A "tingling" sensation or a feeling of "pins and needles" may be a warning sign to the patient that their nerves are functioning abnormally.
