Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom-molded orthotics correct biomechanical foot issues and alleviate pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis and flat feet. These tailored devices improve alignment, reduce pressure points, and enhance comfort during daily activities. Patients experience long-term relief through personalized gait analysis and advanced materials.
Shockwave Therapy
Radial Shockwave Therapy accelerates healing for chronic tendon injuries and plantar fasciitis by stimulating blood flow and tissue regeneration. This non-invasive treatment delivers acoustic waves to damaged areas, triggering the body's natural repair mechanisms without surgery or downtime.
Laser Treatments
Laser therapy targets toenail fungus with precision, destroying pathogens while preserving healthy tissue. The Cutera Excel V+ system uses focused light energy to clear infections, promoting the growth of clear, healthy nails over several months with minimal discomfort.
Swift Wart Removal
Swift technology eliminates plantar warts using controlled microwave energy to activate the immune system against HPV infections. This targeted approach removes warts at their root without cutting, offering immediate pain relief and faster recovery compared to traditional methods.
KeryFlex Nail Restoration
KeryFlex restores damaged toenails with durable, flexible resin that mimics natural nails. This cosmetic solution provides instant aesthetic improvement for fungal infections or trauma, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately after application.

Dr. Latifi is fantastic! Found her on Zocdoc and went for the first time. Was not expecting the removal of a painful ingrown toenail to be so enjoyable! Definitely recommend and will see her again in the future.

The best podiatrist i've ever been to! Period. I've had a couple of issues that have been lingering because i could never find a doctor to really take care of them properly until i found Dr. Latifi, who is extremely diligent and kind, and will get to the bottom of whatever issues you have with your feet. I highly recommend her!
