Bunions
We specialize in advanced bunion treatment using Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction. Our approach addresses root causes through joint realignment and stabilization, reducing recurrence risks. Patients benefit from faster recovery compared to traditional methods while receiving personalized conservative management options like orthotics.
Diabetic Feet
Our comprehensive diabetic foot exams assess circulation, nerve function, and structural changes. We employ sensory testing and vascular screening to identify issues early. Specialized care includes custom footwear recommendations and preventive strategies to reduce amputation risks through proactive monitoring and treatment.
Heel Pain
With a 95% success rate in non-surgical plantar fasciitis treatment, we combine physical therapy, orthotics, and MLS Laser Therapy. Advanced cases receive shockwave therapy or surgical options. Our personalized protocols target inflammation reduction and tissue healing for lasting heel pain resolution.
Nail Fungus
We offer FDA-approved laser therapy for toenail fungus with 20-minute sessions and no downtime. For cosmetic improvement, Keryflex nail restoration transforms damaged nails in one visit. Our treatments address stubborn infections resistant to over-the-counter solutions through targeted, effective interventions.
Orthotics
Custom orthotics are created using precise foot-molding techniques to address individual biomechanical needs. We design devices for various footwear types while providing specialized diabetic orthotics. These solutions improve alignment, reduce pressure points, and prevent post-surgical complications through tailored support.

Report
Dr Waskin is great, I would highly recommend. Nice Facility, friendly people and great service. Other Podiatrist I visited would jump straight to surgery. Dr Waskin successfully addressed my issues with no surgery and minimal pain, and always with open and honest dialogue. I will not go to any other podiatrist now that I have been there.

Excellent care and detailed information along the way. They really take what they do seriously and have a great way of making sure you are informed on what they are doing and why. They also offer personalized after care kits that save you time and money. And we all know we like saving money . Couldnt recommend them more

Arrived at my scheduled appointment on time but was denied service because I didn't arrive 20 mins early. Was not told this prior. There was 1 person in the waiting room. No regards to my health or being in pain.

Report
The doctor I saw was new to the practice. He was very nice and treated my problem very well. This practice is very good. I have seen three of the doctors and feel that they are excellent physicians. Plus they are patient oriented. The appointment I had to wait an unusually long time before being seen. Normally this does not occur.

I was a first time patient. I was seen by Dr. Waskin. He was very detailed, took time to explain my diagnosis and how I could improve my condition. Great people skills. He loves his job and it shows. Thank you
