What Kind of Doctor Should I See for Foot Pain in Yonkers, NY?

If you're experiencing foot pain, the doctor you want to see is a podiatrist. A podiatrist is a physician trained specifically to diagnose and treat conditions of the foot and ankle, everything from heel pain and bunions to tendon injuries, arthritis, and diabetic complications.

Foot pain often doesn't go away on its own. People wait too long, hoping it will improve. In the meantime, the problem worsens, and it begins to affect how they walk, how long they can stand, and in many cases, their independence.

As a podiatrist practicing in Yonkers for over 35 years, I see this every week. What starts as a small discomfort becomes a daily obstacle. But foot pain is not something you have to live with. We have effective treatments, and the sooner we evaluate the issue, the easier it is to resolve.

At our office across from St. John's Riverside Hospital and on North Broadway, we treat patients of all ages. We begin with a conversation and a careful exam. Sometimes the pain is due to inflammation, poor mechanics, or nerve compression. Other times it's related to circulation or diabetes, which we know who to refer out you to. Our job is to understand what's happening and offer a treatment plan that's practical, evidence-based, and tailored to your needs.

In most cases, you don't need a referral to see us. If your foot is bothering you, give our office a call. We'll be glad to help.
