Livingston Foot Care Specialists

Bunions are bony protrusions at the big toe base caused by genetic factors, improper footwear, or foot mechanics. Our specialists offer conservative treatments like orthotics and injection therapy, with surgical correction available for severe cases. Customized treatment plans prioritize pain relief and mobility restoration while preventing complications like hammertoes.

Hammertoe deformities cause toes to bend abnormally, often leading to corns and discomfort. We provide non-surgical solutions including shoe modifications and tendon releases, with surgical bone removal for rigid cases. Our board-certified podiatrists ensure outpatient procedures allow quick recovery and immediate mobility restoration.

Heel pain treatment addresses plantar fasciitis and heel spurs through shockwave therapy, injection treatments, and custom orthotics. Our non-invasive approaches eliminate pain in most cases, with surgical options reserved for chronic conditions. Advanced diagnostics identify biomechanical issues causing recurring discomfort.

Custom orthotic devices correct foot mechanics and prevent deformities through 3D-scanned, personalized inserts. We create specialized orthotics for diabetic patients, athletes, and children, addressing pronation issues and redistributing pressure to prevent ulcers and joint damage while improving overall foot function.

Laser therapy eliminates toenail fungus without anesthesia or side effects, allowing immediate return to activities. Our advanced cool-laser technology vaporizes infections while preserving surrounding tissue, with follow-up monitoring ensuring complete eradication. Most patients achieve clear nail regrowth after one treatment session.

Dr Doug and his team are fantastic! Dr Doug has always been kind and caring throughout my care. He takes the time to explain everything and answers any questions.

The office is clean and neat. I filled out my forms prior to my appointment and was taken into the treatment room on time. Dr. Graziano is a pleasure to deal with and hopefully I can get my foot issue resolved. I recommend the office!

I could not be more happier with this office. After suffering a hard fall and breaking my foot, i was taken to NUMC to get treated. The doctors at NUMC made me uncomfortable and didn't really seem to care about the pain i was in. I went home and researched to find a new podiatrist to perform the surgery i needed done for this nasty fracture. I then found Livingston foot care from my PCP. Dr. Ellis and Dr. Livingston have been nothing short of compassionate and attentive. on 4/1/2022 i went in for surgery to get an ORIF done on the fractured bone, and leading up to the surgery they were both made me very comfortable and assured me everything will be fine.

The ladies at the front desk are also very sweet and very helpful and caring. I look forward to my future appointments with this office just because of how well their bedside manner is (coming from someone who has a fear of doctors) I truly cannot say a single negative thing about this office and am very grateful for the positive experience. If i know anyone with any foot problems in the future i will 100% be referring them.

My husband and I have going to Livingston foot care since around 1990's now my daughter & son also go to the Livingston group every one in the office & staff are professional and helpful we would think of going anywhere else God Bless them!
