Background & credentials

Professional statement

My partners and I practice in offices located in The Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan. We have been in business for over 23 years, and our primary goal is to relieve our patients’ pain and suffering so they can WALK STRONG! We treat everyone from infants to seniors, providing both nonsurgical and surgical care for foot and ankle conditions such as heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, fungal toenails, ingrown toenails, diabetic foot problems, childhood and adult flat feet, wound care, neuromas, warts, and sports injuries. We offer up-to-date technology such as laser treatment for fungal nails, radiofrequency for heel pain, cryosurgery for neuromas, and liposuction of extra fat deposits around the ankle. We offer surgery with cosmetic incisions for bunions and hammertoes. This involves hidden placement of incision to produce minimal scar visibility and size. The surgery combined with cosmetic incision can result in a cosmetically appealing foot as well as restoring of joint function. If you or your loved ones are suffering with foot or ankle pain, we are here to help. We will take the time to listen. Working together, we will make a sound decision about developing a treatment plan that will be most appropriate for your lifestyle.

Even though I arrived a bit later than I planned, they were accommodating and the check in process was smooth. Doctor John was very clear and took the time to answer all my questions. He just became part of my medical team and I will be returning for regular visits.
