Heel Pain Treatment
Our heel pain specialists use advanced diagnostics to identify causes like plantar fasciitis or heel spurs. Treatment options include shockwave therapy, custom orthotics, and targeted stretching programs. Patients benefit from non-invasive solutions that restore mobility and prevent recurrence through personalized care plans.
Custom Orthotics
We create personalized orthotic devices using 3D imaging technology to address biomechanical issues. These medical-grade inserts correct gait abnormalities, alleviate pressure points, and improve comfort for various foot conditions. Patients receive durable, comfortable solutions tailored to their specific arch and weight-bearing needs.
Laser Therapy
Our FDA-cleared laser treatments target fungal toenails and chronic wounds with precision energy delivery. This non-thermal approach stimulates cellular repair while eliminating pathogens. Patients experience faster healing times and reduced infection risks without systemic side effects through this cutting-edge technology.
Foot Surgery
Board-certified surgeons perform reconstructive procedures for bunions, fractures, and deformities using minimally invasive techniques. Preoperative planning incorporates digital imaging and gait analysis to optimize outcomes. Patients receive comprehensive postoperative care with physical therapy support for full recovery from complex foot and ankle conditions.
Sports Medicine
We specialize in treating sports-related foot and ankle injuries with regenerative therapies like EMTT and EPAT. Treatment plans focus on rapid recovery while maintaining athletic performance standards. Patients benefit from activity-specific rehabilitation programs and footwear recommendations to prevent re-injury during training or competition.

Dr Dorfman is an amazing doctor. My daughter is an athlete runner and she suffered a stress fracture. He understood perfectly her situation and how she felt during this process. He cares about his patients and makes sure they are back and ready to go back to their sports. I highly recommend Dr. Dorfman. He is amazing!

I've been seeing Dr. Dorfman for 10 years and he is easily one of the best. He's very low key and totally honest. Even if its bad news he doesn't "guild the lily." They always get me in at my appointment time so I never spend the day waiting. Last, but not least, Dr. Dorfman is a classic rocker, so its always fun sharing concert info. If you need help with your feet or ankles, run, don't walk, to the office. You'll be glad you did.

Report
I had bone spur surgery from an orthopedic surgeon on my big toe about 3 years ago. I had been having alot of pain and difficulty walking. After the surgery I was still having pain and difficulty walking. I went to Dr Dorfman to talk about another surgery. HE suggested I try the extracorporeal pusle activation treatment. I was very doubtful that this could help my pain. AFter four treatments the pain was gone. It has been like a miracle for me. That was nine months ago. I have no more foot pain.
