Laser Toenail Treatment

Our laser toenail treatment uses FDA-cleared technology to eliminate fungal infections beneath the nail surface. This non-invasive procedure employs targeted light energy that destroys pathogens without damaging surrounding tissue. Patients typically experience no discomfort during the 30-minute session, with visible improvement as new healthy nail grows over 6-9 months. This office-based treatment offers immediate return to normal activities with no post-treatment restrictions.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

We specialize in minimally invasive foot procedures using twilight anesthesia administered by board-certified anesthesiologists. Our Joint Commission-accredited facility performs approximately 1,500 annual procedures including bunionectomies and hammertoe repairs. These techniques reduce recovery times compared to traditional methods while maintaining surgical precision. Patients benefit from same-day procedures with reduced scarring and faster return to daily activities.

Orthotics

Our computerized gait analysis system creates personalized orthotic devices tailored to individual biomechanics. This technology captures both static and dynamic foot movement patterns to address specific structural imbalances. Custom orthotics help alleviate conditions like plantar fasciitis and arthritis by redistributing pressure and improving foot function. The prescription devices are fabricated in-house using advanced materials for optimal comfort and effectiveness.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

FDA-approved extracorporeal shock wave therapy treats chronic plantar fasciitis and heel spurs using high-energy acoustic waves. This non-surgical option stimulates healing in cases resistant to conservative treatments. The procedure delivers focused energy to affected tissues, promoting regeneration without incisions. Clinical studies show 80-85% success rates in reducing chronic heel pain when traditional methods fail.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma therapy harnesses the body's natural healing factors to treat chronic tendon conditions like plantar fasciitis. We extract concentrated platelets from the patient's blood and inject them into damaged tissues to stimulate repair. This minimally invasive treatment offers an alternative to surgery with permanent pain relief in 80-85% of cases. The office procedure takes less than 30 minutes using local anesthesia.

Do not go here. While the doctor is fine, the office staff is completely inept, unethical and is not in sync with the billing team. The office staff is not responsive, when you call during business hours and they dont answer their message says the office is closed. They do not respond to their email address and they invent excuses for their poor service. It took over a year to get a bill corrected with insurance for a mistake they made and kept billing incorrectly for. They then tried to extort my husband and withhold his orthotics due to an overdue balance on my account that was not billed

Dr Sharpiro is very knowledgeable and professional. He listened to me describe my foot problem and then fit me in with an un-scheduled procedure to help relieve the pain. He's an excellent doctor.

I was in need of help with my swollen foot when I found a near by Podiatrist within blocks of my job. I ran over there at lunch and I was out of there super quick. They quickly did an x-ray and send me off with a cream I bought in house and back at my desk within the hr.
Dr was professional and front desk was sweet and welcoming.
Cant wait to go back for my 2 week follow up.

Ive been going here for more than a decade. This time was for my teenage son. I can always count on Dr. Shapiro to help. The staff was super patient and kind with my son. There is not much more I can ask for in a podiatrist.

I had been to this podiatric office previously and was satisfied because the staff always behaved professionally and were friendly and kind. The physicians ,the doctors in particular Dr. Shapiro is amazing. Even though I left and went to another doctor I ended up returning to the this Pofiatrist office where I was treated properly, professionally and with good results
