Services
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Our board-certified specialists perform advanced minimally invasive procedures for bunion correction, hammertoe repair, and other structural deformities. This approach reduces recovery time, minimizes scarring, and preserves natural foot function. Patients benefit from smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, and quicker return to daily activities compared to traditional surgical methods.
EPAT Shockwave Therapy
This FDA-approved treatment uses acoustic wave technology to accelerate healing for chronic foot pain conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. It stimulates blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and promotes regeneration without incisions or anesthesia. Most patients experience significant improvement after 3-5 sessions with no downtime required.
Diabetic Wound Care
Specialized management of diabetic foot ulcers and complications through comprehensive wound assessment, infection prevention, and pressure redistribution techniques. Our limb salvage program combines regular monitoring, advanced dressings, and customized offloading solutions to prevent amputations and maintain foot health for diabetic patients.
Custom Orthotics
Individually crafted shoe inserts address biomechanical imbalances, alleviate pain from structural abnormalities, and improve gait efficiency. Using 3D imaging technology, we create personalized orthotic devices for various conditions including flat feet, high arches, and sports-related injuries to enhance comfort and mobility.
Sports Medicine
Comprehensive treatment for sports-related foot and ankle injuries including sprains, stress fractures, and tendon injuries. Our approach combines diagnostic imaging, activity modification plans, and performance-enhancing therapies to safely return athletes to competition while preventing future injuries through biomechanical analysis and conditioning programs.

I was extremely happy with my consultation with Dr. Spielfogel. The doctor was incredibly knowledgeable and conveyed information in an easily understandable manner. He diagnosed my foot problem quickly and explained his proposed management plan in detail, starting with the most conservative approach - which he recommended - to the most interventionist treatment (in my case surgery). The doctor's staff is also terrific - professional and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Spielfogel and his Bay Ridge practice.
