Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics realign foot structure through precisely molded biomechanical devices. These medical-grade inserts correct imbalances causing foot, knee, or back pain by optimizing gait mechanics. Patients receive personalized evaluations using advanced imaging technology to create durable, activity-specific solutions that improve muscle efficiency and reduce strain.
Lapiplasty Bunion Correction
Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction permanently addresses bunion deformities using patented titanium plating technology. This outpatient procedure rotates deviated bones into anatomical alignment, eliminating pain while allowing early weight-bearing. Patients typically resume normal footwear within six weeks and high-impact activities after four months through accelerated recovery protocols.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot care prevents complications through regular monitoring and wound management. Our certified specialists treat neuropathy, ulcers, and circulation issues using advanced techniques like hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Comprehensive evaluations identify risks early, while custom orthotics and footwear reduce pressure points that could lead to amputation.
ShockWave Therapy
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT) delivers targeted shockwaves to stimulate healing in chronic foot and ankle pain. This non-invasive treatment improves blood flow to injured tissues, accelerating recovery from plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and stress fractures. Most patients experience significant relief after three sessions without requiring surgery.
Children's Foot Care
Comprehensive pediatric foot evaluations address developmental concerns like flat feet, in-toeing, and sports-related injuries. Gentle, age-appropriate treatments include gait analysis, custom orthotics, and activity modification plans. Early intervention prevents long-term mobility issues while ensuring proper foot development through adolescence.

Report
I went in into Hartford Podiatry Group in Hartford and came in on the wrong day accidentally. The receptionist got me in with no notice, had a nurse assistant see me and then the doctor himself. The doctor did exactly what I wanted and got the job done and was so nice! I have been searching for this type of office for a long time. I am lucky to have found them. I would leave a million stars if possible. Thank you to Hartford Podiatry Group! You are amazing!

Report
Friendly, professional staff. Dr. Kosofsky is friendly, thorough, explains everything in great detail and works with your schedule and your needs. I had him as my podiatrist about 20 years ago and the work he did then is now invisible. No scars, no pain and my feet look great. Glad I'm able to have him correct the issue I'm having now. I highly recommend him.

Report
I am/was a new patient and was greeted promptly and with a smile. After finishing up with paperwork I was near immediately brought back, with very minimal wait time. The woman in the office who I believe is the OM and the MA were very friendly and welcoming! I have always feared going and finally buckled down and went and I was amazed by Dr. Kosofsky's work! I am very happy I made that phone call to his office! I am looking forward to my next appointment!

The doctors here are wonderful! I would recommend them to everyone. I have had many procedures as well as surgery by Dr. Kosofsky and couldn't be happier with everything he has done for me. My daughter is also a patient of his and her treatment has been ongoing for some time now and the care and concern he has shown her is beyond any expectations we could have had. Not only the doctors but the staff there go above and beyond to help with everything. The staff make it such a wonderful experience as well. Thank you to all of you there your the best!
