General Practitioners

Plantar Fasciitis
Runners, those who are overweight, and those who wear shoes with minimal support are some people that are at a higher risk of plantar fasciitis. In addition, age and intense exercise that focuses on using the ball of the foot (i.e. dancing) are likely to cause plantar fasciitis.
High Cholesterol
Emergency Care
Diabetic Foot Care

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Orthopedics
Arthroscopy
Ankle Surgery
Bunion Surgery
I had bunion surgery with Dr. Epstein and Dr. Tavroff over 25 years ago. I am pain free and happy with the results. Cannot recommend them enough.
Bunions
Since bunions are a bone deformity, they will not heal by themselves. Treatments include adding protective padding to shoes, removing calluses, wearing custom fitted shoes, orthotic devices to slowly correct alignment, exercises, and splints.
Arthroscopy
Reconstructive Surgery

Corns
We safely and effectively remove corns in our offices. For more information on corns or to request an appointment, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (718) 657-8921 (Briarwood) or (631) 549-8637 (Melville)!
Calluses
Although many people consider calluses to be a simple skin problem, it is actually an indicator of bone problems. In the foot, calluses are typically seen on the heels, balls of the feet, and on the outer side of the big toe. Calluses have their own nerves and sacks of fluid that act as cushioning, which can cause pain over time.
Fungus
Athlete’s foot is a contagious fungal infection that mostly affects the feet, with the potential to spread to toenails and hands. The fungus thrives in warm, humid, and dark environments, which makes athletes more prone to the infection. Communal showers, swimming pools, and locker rooms are hotbeds for the bacteria.

Physical Therapists

Physical Therapy
Treatments include wearing specialized bandages, laying off physical activity involving the tendon, taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs), customized orthotics, and physical therapy.
Heel Pain
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
During the natural aging process, stress on your feet becomes prolonged and can cause pain and discomfort that need to be treated and managed. Some symptoms of elderly foot issues include dry and brittle skin and nails, tingling sensations, and feelings of numbness. It is important to seek medical assistance if you notice any of these symptoms so ETL Podiatry can assess a treatment plan to help alleviate and manage the normal changes in your feet.
Achilles Tendonitis
Achilles tendonitis is an inflammation of the Achilles tendon, typically caused by overuse of the tendon during physical activity. This can include hill running, stair climbing, improper footwear, trauma caused by the sudden contraction of the calf muscle, etc.
Ankle Sprain
A sprained ankle occurs when you twist your ankle in an abnormal way causing the ligaments holding your ankle bones together to stretch or tear. Most sprained ankles involve injuries to the ligaments on the outer side of the ankle. Treatment for a sprained ankle depends on the severity of the injury. Although you may just need proper rest and pain medications to heal, it is important to have the sprain looked at by a professional to determine the severity and proper treatment.
Bunions Problems
Bunions are painful bone deformities in the big toe. When the toe is misaligned, the joint in the toe grows larger, creating a protuberance over time. These lumps can cause constant pain from rubbing against shoes, which in turn, irritates the joint resulting in a large bump.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetes is a chronic disease causing high blood glucose (sugar) levels. Diabetes also weakens your immune system, making it more difficult for your body to fight off infections, which can, in turn, damage your nervous system. This damage can affect the ability to feel sensations in your feet.
Fungus Toenails
Geriatric Foot Care
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a deformity where one or both joints of the second, third, fourth or fifth toes begin to bend outside of their normal alignment. Pressure can begin to weigh heavy on the toes as you wear shoes which is where pain and other symptoms develop.
Heel Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Foot Injuries
Foot Warts
Warts can be very resistant to treatment and have a tendency to recur. Over-the-counter foot wart treatments are very often ineffective, destroying surrounding tissue and leaving the wart(s) intact.
Foot Orthotics
If you’re experiencing pain in your feet, knees, legs, and/or back as a result of wearing shoes with little to no support, custom foot orthotics may be right for you!
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It is caused by the irritation and inflammation of the large band of tissue that connects your heel bone to your toes (plantar fascia). Some symptoms include stabbing pain that usually occurs in the mornings. As you walk around on the foot the pain normally decreases, but it can return after standing for long periods of time.
Podiatric Surgery
I was pleasantly surprised with my overall experience with Dr. Epstein, not to mention my quick recovery after having had successful foot surgery! I am ready to have the other foot operated on
