Podiatry
Our comprehensive podiatry services address all aspects of foot and ankle health. We provide both conservative treatments and surgical interventions for structural deformities, infections, and chronic conditions. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans utilizing the latest diagnostic tools and therapeutic techniques in our accessible New York locations.
Sports Medicine
Specialized sports medicine care focuses on preventing and treating foot and ankle injuries in active individuals. We employ advanced techniques like PRP therapy and biomechanical analysis to help athletes recover quickly. Our team understands sports-specific demands and develops rehabilitation programs to restore optimal function while minimizing future injury risks.
Reconstructive Surgery
Complex reconstructive procedures correct severe foot and ankle deformities from trauma or disease. Our surgeons use cutting-edge techniques including synthetic cartilage implants and arthroscopic methods. The goal is to restore mobility and alleviate pain for patients with conditions like bunions, arthritis, or post-traumatic complications through carefully planned surgical interventions.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotic fabrication addresses biomechanical imbalances through personalized arch supports and shoe inserts. We utilize digital scanning and gait analysis to create devices that improve alignment and reduce pain. These custom solutions effectively treat conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and diabetic foot complications across our Manhattan and Queens locations.
Diabetic Foot Care
Specialized diabetic foot care prevents and treats complications like ulcers and infections. Our comprehensive approach includes regular check-ups, wound care, and limb salvage techniques. We employ hyperbaric oxygen therapy and advanced dressings to promote healing while working closely with patients to develop preventive strategies for long-term foot health maintenance.

One of the employees at this company who has a pseudo name of Brunilda Jones is a very rude individual who has zero couth. He has since moved to the Austin TX area and is applying for jobs. If you don't hire him he begins leaving false reviews about your company lying about services just to try and get your rating down. He uses The Metropolitan Foot & Ankle Group as reference, so if you find yourself here beware of I saac and hiring him.

The doctors here are very friendly and knowledgeable. The staff are just as nice. It is easy to enter here should you have walking problems as the outdoor parking lot is very close to the outdoor access elevator. By the way, the view from the glass windows in the waiting room is very pretty. You can see the cars at the intersection of Union Turnpike and 164th Street and the Q65 bus stop going north.
There are 3 eating places at the first floor level and a convenience store. Across the intersection there are several fast food restaurants and a bank. Cars can drive in to the parking lot from either Union Turnpike or 164th Street. The are several podiatrists(foot doctors) here making it pretty easy to make an appointment within 1 to 2 days. I found it was not easy to do that when I called individual podiatrists in Flushing. I had an accident that sent me to the Emergency Room for stitches the previous week so I needed stitch removal and follow up. I brought a family member here and his experience was also very good.
