Services
Laser Nail Treatment
Our MLS laser therapy targets toenail fungus without medication, using concentrated light energy to eliminate infections while preserving surrounding tissue. This 20-minute, pain-free procedure promotes natural nail regrowth with visible results in 10-12 weeks. Patients benefit from reduced scarring, improved circulation, and accelerated healing without systemic side effects.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized care for diabetic patients prevents complications through regular check-ups, ulcer treatment, and customized footwear solutions. We employ advanced wound care products and laser therapy to enhance healing while monitoring nerve damage and circulation issues. Our preventive approach reduces amputation risks through early detection and comprehensive foot health education.
Bunion Surgery
Minimally invasive surgical procedures correct bunions and other structural deformities using modern techniques that reduce recovery time. Combined with post-operative MLS laser therapy, our approach minimizes swelling and accelerates tissue repair. Custom orthotics are often prescribed post-surgery to maintain proper foot alignment and prevent recurrence.
MLS Laser Therapy
FDA-cleared MLS laser therapy addresses chronic pain and inflammation from conditions like plantar fasciitis and arthritis. The dual-wavelength system simultaneously reduces swelling and alleviates pain without thermal damage. Patients experience faster recovery times post-injury or surgery while avoiding medication-related side effects through this non-invasive treatment option.
Custom Orthotics
Individually crafted orthotic devices correct gait abnormalities and provide targeted support for flat feet, high arches, and sports-related stress. Using advanced diagnostic imaging, we create customized solutions that distribute pressure evenly across the foot. These medical-grade inserts improve alignment, reduce pain, and prevent progression of structural foot conditions through daily wear.

Zero stars! I waited for two weeks for my appointment, the day before they called and said they did not take my insurance. They had the insurance information when the appointment was made but did not verify it. Very unprofessional, I was in pain and needed to be seen. Very disappointing!!!

I would like to tell the community how proud I am to have Dr. Machado here in West Kendall. She is my dad's doctor and I don't have enough words to express how grateful I am to have her as his doctor. She was able to remove a crystal from my dad's foot that we thought was impossible to do it in the outpatient setting, but thank to her that was possible. I would like to recommend Dr. Machado and her staff as one of the most knowledgeable and professional doctors we have in Miami. 150% recommended !!!!!

I just had surgery at WKB with Dr. Machado on Thursday the 19th. First i was very impressed with rhe fact my appointment was at 1:30 and I was seen at 1:30. The staff is cery kind and sweet. At the hospital Dr. Machado was again right on time. I can say my surgery is extremely painful. I have had a very rough time but I rarely write reviews however I had to take the time to write how amazing Dr. Machado is. On Friday she saw me because I felt something like it was stabbing me. Without hesitation she asked me to go and fixed rhe problem. I ran out of pain medication and left a message on their answering
