Services
Heel Pain Treatment
Our specialists diagnose and treat heel pain using advanced non-invasive methods. We combine shockwave therapy with personalized stretching programs to address plantar fasciitis. Patients benefit from immediate pain relief strategies and long-term mobility restoration plans tailored to their activity levels.
Custom Orthotics
We create custom-made orthotics using 3D imaging technology for precise arch support. These devices correct biomechanical imbalances while maintaining contact throughout the gait cycle. Patients experience improved comfort during daily activities and reduced strain on foot structures.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing in chronic foot conditions. We employ FDA-approved devices for treating plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, and diabetic foot ulcers. Most patients achieve significant pain reduction after 3-4 sessions with no downtime required.
Bunion Surgery
Our board-certified surgeons perform minimally invasive bunion corrections using modern techniques. Procedures preserve joint mobility while realigning bone structures. Post-operative care includes customized recovery plans to ensure proper healing and functional restoration.
Diabetic Foot Care
We specialize in preventing and treating diabetes-related foot complications. Our comprehensive approach includes regular screenings, wound care, and infection prevention strategies. Advanced treatments like skin grafts and vascular testing help maintain foot health and prevent amputations.

Report
Dr Hassid is a caring doctor. He doesn't rush to see the next patient but spends time making sure all your questions are answered. He quickly identified my issue and I'm already feeling better. He has an X-ray machine at his office so there is no wait. His office staff was also friendly and made an appointment for me within the same week.
