- Primary Care“In 2004, I developed severe heel pain while hiking. My primary care physician recommended that I see Dr. Toback. I thought for sure that I’d need surgery but Dr. Toback said that he thought orthotics would do the trick. He was right! I was able to continue with all of my life’s activities without the pain I had experienced.
- Diabetic Foot Care“Dr. Toback has seen me through cortisone treatments for severe heel pain (both feet), several pairs of orthotics, diabetic foot care and emergency ingrown toenail (with infection) surgery. He and his office staff are always courteous, professional and patient. I have full confidence in Dr. Toback’s services and sincere caring concern and would recommend him to anyone.”

- Bunions
- GangrenePoor circulation inhibits the body’s ability to allow adequate blood flow to vital body parts. Blood carries the necessary oxygen and nutrients necessary to aid in the body’s healing processes as well as keeping those body parts active and healthy. Poor circulation to the feet and legs prolongs the healing of cuts and sores, greatly increasing the risks for diabetics to contract gangrene and /or suffer the loss of a limb.
- Ingrown Toenails“Dr. Toback has been my doctor for many years. He’s operated on my ingrown toenails. I’ve also had spurs, and I could not walk. Dr. Toback advised me to have orthotics made. I wear them often. My legs and my back feel so much better. I have happy feet when I leave Dr. Toback’s office.”
- Skin Cancer“On November 17, 2000, I had gone to my family doctor, because I had a sore under my left foot, which was not healing. I was referred to Dr. Tracy Toback. After all testing by Dr. Toback was done, I was told that I had Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. It was malignant, and I might lose a third of my left foot. On December 28, 2000, Dr. Toback performed the operation. When I woke up in the recovery room, I was told that my operation was a success and I did not lose any part of my left foot. I was the most luckiest man in the world.
- Dermatology
- CornsIt is vital that all diabetic patients be committed to taking care of their feet properly. Diabetics are always at risk for developing foot ulcers and infections, which, if left untreated, lead to gangrene. Common ailments, such as corns, calluses and ingrown toenails can become a very serious and threatening conditions for a diabetic. Hospitalization is a frequent occurrence and in some cases, amputation of the foot or leg is required.

- Ankle SprainFunctional control, excellent for growing children as well as patients suffering from foot, leg, and back pain, leg length differences and foot abnormalities. Semi-rigid orthotics offer shock absorption and are recommended for sports enthusiasts who are highly susceptible to foot and ankle injuries and ailments, including plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and repetitive ankle sprains. Excessive stress and strain on the muscles and bones of the feet can exasperate the most minor biomechanical faults and aggravate minor foot deformities. The amount of pressure your body absorbs when sprinting may be up to eight times that of your total body weight. Soft orthotics maximize shock absorption for patients who no longer have the protective fat pad cushioning on the soles of their feet, resulting in painful pressure areas. Soft orthotics are recommended for senior citizens, arthritics, diabetics and those patients with severely deformed feet who have a difficult time moving about in shoes.

- HammertoesTom suggested that I try seeing Dr. Toback, as I’d been having painful foot problems for the past year. I had doctored with another podiatrist for several months, but to no avail. I was unhappy and I still had foot pain, I thought I’d have to live with it. I first saw Dr. Toback in August ’03, I must admit I was very skeptical, but he was confident…he could fix my feet. Without getting into medical terminology, he did surgery on my right foot. He did a bunionectomy and straightened my hammertoe (painless I might add). Prior to surgery I was an apprehensive nervous wreck. I went into his office with a long list of questions (looking back, some were so foolish), but he patiently and graciously answered all. He gave me the time I needed. So often you ask a doctor two questions, and it’s one more than they have time for. That was not my experience at Dr. Toback’s office. You are treated as an individual and with the utmost respect.
- Heel SpursTaking a cue from his father, Dr. Toback is proactive in his approach to treating patients of all ages suffering from foot problems that stem from biomechanical faults – such as heel spurs, high arches, or flat feet – or problems that develop in response to diseases like diabetes. Each treatment plan is tailored to the best interest of the patient, and can range from conservative but highly-effective custom-made orthotics to the most advanced surgeries. Toback Podiatry features in-office technology including weight-bearing X-rays to identify the misalignment of the bones in the foot. No matter the procedure, Dr. Toback involves his patients in their care.

- Foot InfectionsDo you or someone you know have diabetes? If you are a diabetic, you may be at risk of developing serious foot infections and ulcers that often lead to amputation. In 1996, doctors performed more than 86,000 diabetic amputations. What you may not know is nearly 80% of life altering amputations could have been prevented.
- Ingrown Toenails“For the longest time I was afraid to have an ingrown toenail taken care of by a doctor. When I could not stand it any longer, I called Dr. Toback and made an appointment. To my total amazement, there was absolutely no pain when Dr. Toback took care of my problem. Why did I wait so long? Thank you, Dr. Toback, you are truly a wonderful doctor.”
