Diabetic Foot Care
Our specialized diabetic foot care program prevents and treats complications through regular screenings, wound care, and custom treatment plans. We address nerve damage, poor circulation, and infection risks using advanced protocols. Patients receive education on daily foot maintenance to prevent serious complications requiring hospitalization.
Bunion Treatment
We offer both conservative and surgical bunion treatment options tailored to severity and patient needs. Non-invasive approaches include orthotics and footwear modification while surgical correction addresses structural deformities. Our board-certified surgeons use modern techniques to restore proper foot function and alleviate chronic pain.
MLS Laser Therapy
This non-invasive therapy uses multiwave laser technology to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair for chronic foot conditions. Effective for plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and post-surgical recovery, it offers drug-free pain management with no downtime required for most patients.
Custom Orthotics
We create personalized orthotic devices through advanced gait analysis and 3D imaging to correct biomechanical imbalances. These prescription inserts alleviate pain from flat feet, high arches, and repetitive stress injuries while improving overall foot function during daily activities.
Sports Injury Recovery
Our sports medicine specialists diagnose and treat acute and overuse injuries affecting athletes of all levels. Treatment combines physical therapy, bracing, and regenerative medicine techniques to restore mobility and prevent re-injury. We develop return-to-play protocols tailored to specific sports requirements.

VIP staff and Dr. Zolfaghari have been great. They accommodated me right away and work with my schedule. She diagnosed my issue immediately and has always been thorough in treating me and making sure I'm well taken care of in terms of having enough medication, getting me on the schedule, and explaining what she's doing. The staff is super professional and attentive.

The best ingrown toe nail procedure I have had yet. He was very smooth, gentle, & attentive to make sure I did not feel any pain during or after. I can already tell I will not have to do this operation again. I highly recommend Dr. Zilberman.

I had an amazing procedure done this afternoon. I had to have an ingrown toenail removed and the entire team was friendly and made me as comfortable as possible. I don't like the site of needles and they made sure to comfort me and avoid me from seeing the needle. The procedure wasn't too painful the worse part was the needle which even that wasn't too bad. I felt zero pain with my toenail removal. I didn't even know Dr. Zolfaghari was starting the procedure; zero pain. I hope to not have to return lol but if so I do know where to go and whom to send my referrals to. Thank you team!

VIP Foot & Ankle is amazing. I highly recommend them. I took my 11 year old in for an ingrown toe nail and they went out of their way to calm him down and put him at ease during the procedure. The doctor was extremely compassionate and gentle with him. I cannot say enough about the entire staff. I will definitely go back if I have any podiatry needs in the future.

Not feeling like a VIP today ... If you would like to be treated like a "VIP" go elsewhere. The staff was rude and unorganized, I left before even seeing a doctor. In addition, they don't run your insurance properly and fail to take down proper information. To begin, I spoke to an employee on the phone and she took all my information and ran my insurance through the system prior to my appointment.
She said they accepted the insurance and there was a co-pay. However, when I went to the office for my appointment she proceeded to tell me that they DID NOT take my insurance and they would see me a
