A podiatrist is a physician who treats the foot, ankle, and related structures of the lower limbs. Also known as a doctor of podiatric medicine (DPM), a podiatrist specializes in diagnosing abnormal conditions of the foot and ankle, such as injuries, skin conditions, and other problems that can cause discomfort and pain.
Dr. Falivene serves patients in the greater New York area, including Manhattan, Queens, and Nassau County. If your foot discomfort is interfering with your normal activities or causing concern, he can help you heal and put your best foot forward.
