General Practitioners

Arthritis
Managing your health as a whole is one of the best ways to avoid hammer toe and its associated complications. If you have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or another chronic condition that leads to foot deformities, make sure to follow your doctor's treatment plan. Also, address other foot conditions like bunions and corns as soon as they appear.
Plantar Fasciitis
A very common disorder that affects many people. It happens when a band of tissue on bottom of the foot experiences too much stress. Treatment consists of rest, ice, night splint, injections, and custom orthotics to decrease stress.
Pediatric Care
He completed a three year residency at Hoboken University Medical Center and affiliated hospitals. During his time as a resident, Dr. Costa received comprehensive training in reconstructive surgery of complex foot and ankle deformities, including foot and ankle joint replacement, flatfoot, trauma, wound care, elective surgery. Dr. Costa’s areas of interest include trauma/reconstruction, sports medicine, elective surgery, pediatrics, and general foot care.
Emergency Care
The indications to go to a hospital's emergency department are similar to those for which to call the doctor. The following conditions suggest you might have a fracture, or you may need a splint for pain control.

Pregnancy

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

MRI
Testing: Usually no tests are necessary. Your doctor might suggest an X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to make sure your pain isn't being caused by another problem, such as a stress fracture.
X-Rays

Arthroscopy
Dr. Desai then went on to complete his advanced surgical training in Foot and Ankle Trauma/Reconstructive Surgery at the prestigious Atlantic Health System in New Jersey, serving as Chief Resident during his final year.

After graduating from medical school, Dr. Longobardi performed a one year podiatric orthopedic residency at the East Orange Veterans Administration Hospital. From there, he went on to complete a two year residency concentrating in foot and ankle surgery at Union Hospital/St.Barnabas Medical Center in New Jersey.
Bunion Surgery
Large bump inside of the foot near big toe, redness, soreness. Bunions may not cause pain at firs; however, they can always increase in size and pain. No one bunion is the same. All bunions should be evaluated and specific treatment options should be individualized. Treatment options range from CONSERVATIVE CARE (which includes pads/shields, accommodative shoes, and orthotics) to surgery. IF SURGERY IS REQUIRED newer studies have been investigating the effect of frontal plane rotation around the joint on bunion surgery. THIS IS ONE OF MANY TYPES OF SURGERY OUR PRACTICE OFFERS.
Joint Replacement
Bunions
At its heart, bunions start as a misaligned bone. The bone puts pressure on your joint, which becomes misaligned, too. Then, the entire joint and surrounding tissue become inflamed.
Arthroscopy
As an avid sports fan, Dr. Desai has a special interest in sports medicine and trauma of the foot and ankle. His other interests include deformity correction, bunion correction, elective foot and ankle surgery, foot and ankle arthroscopy, and reconstructive surgery of the foot and ankle.

Diabetes causes a lot of ill health effects and increases your risk for heart disease, stroke, eye problems, and problems with feet. Another common complication is diabetic foot ulcers. Keep reading to learn what a diabetic foot ulcer is, the signs, as well as diabetic wound prevention and care.
Calluses
Fungus
If you suspect nail fungus, best to have your foot and ankle doctor take a look. After examination, he/she may take some nail clippings for testing. This is to identify the type of fungus causing the infection. There are other conditions that can mimic a nail infection so it is best to rule those out. Once the infection is identified your doctor can then offer the best course of treatment.

Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
An ankle sprain may clear up on its own over the course of a few months. However if your pain is bothersome, especially when you put weight on the injured ankle, it is best to see your foot doctor to rul out serious injury.

Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis: pain from overuse at the back of the heel. The Achilles tendon is largest tendon and provides most strength for push off. Ignoring Achilles tendon pain can lead to long term injury. Always good to check for tears and ruptures. Treatment consists of decreased activity with rest and ice.
Ankle Sprain
Sometimes equinus is related to a bone blocking the ankle motion. For example, a fragment of a broken bone following an ankle injury, or bone block, can get in the way and restrict motion.
Bunions Problems
Our feet bear the brunt of our weight every day. Don't make the mistake of letting a lump on your foot cause chronic pain. Instead, read on to get informed about what bunions are and how to treat them.
Calluses
Flat Feet
Flat feet, also called pes planus, is a deformity that occurs when the arch of the foot collapses and comes into complete or near-complete contact with the ground. The condition may be congenital (occurring at the time of birth) or acquired (developing over time, most often as a result of age or injury). Diagnosis of flat feet typically involves a visual examination of the foot, supported by imaging tests. Treatments may involve over-the-counter pain medications, orthotic arch supports, foot exercises and, less commonly, surgery. Between 20 percent and 30 percent of the general population has some degree of flat-footedness.
Hammertoes
Hammer toe can be a very aggravating condition to deal with, so it's best to avoid it if possible. Here are some hammer toe prevention tips.

Foot Injuries
Plantar Fasciitis
How do you get diagnosed with Plantar Fasciitis The diagnosis is made based on your initial exam combined with your medical history. During the exam, your doctor will check for areas of tenderness in your foot. Where your pain is situated can help determine its cause.
Podiatric Deformities
You're also more likely to get bunions if you've suffered a foot injury in the past. If you have foot deformities, then you're also likely to develop bunions. Any inflammatory condition, like arthritis, can also lead to bunions.
