• Warts
• Arthritis
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Plantar fasciitis. Heel pain can be caused by a variety of conditions or injuries. Undue stress on the calcaneus and its connective tissues from physical activity, obesity, or improper footwear can lead to plantar fasciitis. This condition is the most common form of heel pain. It occurs when the plantar fascia tissue (which connects the heel bone to the ball of the foot) becomes overly stretched, causing pain and inflammation which is most severe first thing in the morning.
• Diabetic Foot Care
  Daily foot care is essential for a person with diabetes to maintain healthy feet and avoid serious foot problems from developing. Here are some basic diabetic foot care tips...

Endocrinologist

• Diabetes Care

Surgeons

• Bunions
  Are you suffering from severe heel or arch pain? Are you tired of dealing with fungal toe nails, bunions or hammertoes?
• Gangrene
  People with diabetes often have nerve damage and poor circulation in the feet. This compromises their ability to detect and heal cuts or other abrasions. Even the smallest cut in a diabetic’s foot can turn into a wound that won’t heal if it is not spotted and treated promptly. This may develop into a deep ulcer and lead to infection, gangrene and, in worse case scenarios, amputation.

• Bunions Problems
  A bunion is a bone deformity usually occurring at the base of the big toe. This is a progressive condition that is made worse by inward pressure from tight shoes. Bunions can be very painful, and in some instances surgery may be necessary to remove them.
• Calluses
• Diabetic Foot Care
  Diabetes is a disorder that impedes the body’s natural ability to turn food into energy. Insufficient levels of insulin, or an inability to use it properly, causes too much glucose to stay in the bloodstream. Over time, this can lead to damaged blood vessels, nerves, and organs.
• Flat Feet
• Fungus Toenails
  Although toenail fungus is not a serious condition for most people, it can be problematic to those with diabetes or circulatory disorders.
• Hammertoes
  Hammertoe is a characterized by one or more of the toes having a bend in the middle joint. This occurs because of weakening of the muscle due to poorly fitted shoes or a genetically inherited trait.
• Heel Spurs
  Heel pain is usually attributed to plantar fasciitis, but may also be due to Achilles tendinitis, heel bursitis, Sever’s disease, heel spurs, obesity, poorly fitting shoes, heel pad atrophy, stress fractures or contusions, or arthritis.
• Heel Pain
  Of all the 26 bones in the human foot, the heel bone (calcaneus) is the largest. It helps form the heel—which also includes thick connective tissue under the bone (fat pad) and a fluid-filled bursa sac (retrocalcaneal) near the back of the heel. This reduces friction and assists movement of the Achilles tendon over the bone where it attaches.
• Foot Pain
  The foot is composed of 26 bones, 33 joints, along with muscles, ligaments, and tendons. The foot’s complexity, and its role in bearing the weight of the body, can lead to various painful conditions and injuries.
• Ingrown Toenails
  3. Maintain Your Toenails. Keep your toenails trimmed straight across, but not too short which might lead to an ingrown toenail. Have a podiatrist trim your nails if you cannot do it.
• Foot Injuries
• Metatarsalgia
  Ball of the foot pain occurs in the padding underneath the toes. It can be due to metatarsalgia, metatarsal joint pain, arthritis, plantar warts, stress fractures, obesity, or conditions such as Morton’s neuroma, Freiberg’s disease, or sesamoiditis.
• Foot Emergency Care
  "I was in town visiting relatives (same last name no relation) when I had a foot emergency. I picked Dr Levi from internet but I felt very lucky that I found him. He took care of me very quickly and I felt his experience and skills saved me time and more pain. I strongly recommend Dr Levi !!!"
• Foot Orthotics
• Plantar Fasciitis
  Arch pain can be caused by an injury, flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, weight gain, aging, or overuse. It can also be the result of gait abnormalities such as overpronation—where the foot rolls excessively inward causing undue pressure on the arch.
• Podiatric Surgery
  "I rarely ever post any reviews, but I felt the need to post about Dr. Levi. I am in the medical field myself so I am more particular about health care professionals and hold them to a higher standard. Dr. Levi is extraordinarily knowledgeable and really takes an interest in his patients. He spent a tremendous amount of time with me explaining my condition to me in great length. He genuinely cares about helping his patients feel better. He spent a lot of time making and perfecting the perfect orthotics for me to ensure I would be able to walk with as much comfort as possible before getting the foot surgery I need (which I am trying to push off for a little while longer at this time). He is easily accessible and very accommodating. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it. I have seen a few Podiatrists over the years and Dr. Levi is by far one of the best doctors I have had the pleasure of meeting. I was truly very impressed with him"
