Overall

Dr. Siegel Cured My Feet!

I had horribly painful heel spurs. Dr. Siegel was warm, and caring and she explained everything so clearly. She made me orthotics that I now will not leave the house without. She gave me an injection in my foot that did NOT hurt!!! She took time to really understand my problem and to explain everything she was doing. What a wonderful doctor!!

Warts
Arthritis
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 exercise on unforgiving surfaces like pavement are common causes of plantar fasciitis.
Primary Care
Although your primary care physician may be able to diagnose and treat a problem with your foot, ankle, or lower leg, it is often wise to speak with a skilled podiatrist about your issues. Many podiatric health conditions have similar symptoms as other conditions and can be easily misdiagnosed.
Diabetic Foot Care

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

X-Rays

Wound Care
Bunions
Not all bunions are painful, but if you are experiencing one or more of the following, a podiatrist can help alleviate your symptoms...
Ingrown Toenails

Corns
Calluses and corns are areas of thick, hard skin that form on your foot due to pressure on your foot. Calluses are normal and typically do not have to be treated unless they cause you pain. You should never cut off calluses on your own. This can cause an infection and can be extremely dangerous if you have diabetes. One home treatment is to soak your feet in warm water and then wear away the dead skin with a pumice stone. You can also use orthotic inserts, and wear better-fitting shoes to reduce the pressure on your feet, lessening the development of calluses.
Calluses
Calluses are thick, hardened layers of skin that develop when your skin tries to protect itself against friction and pressure. They usually occur on the balls of the foot, the heels and along the side of the big toe but they can occur anywhere there is excessive pressure. Calluses can become a serious foot health risk in patients with diabetes and other conditions that cause poor blood flow to your feet.
Fungus
The treatment of athlete's foot will depend on the severity of your case. If you have a minor case of athlete's foot, you can typically treat it at home with over-the-counter antifungal medication. If you have a more serious outbreak of athlete's foot, your doctor may prescribe a prescription in the form of an antifungal cream or an oral medication. The best way to beat athlete's foot is to not get it in the first place. Athlete's foot is caused by a fungus that is easily transmitted from damp, contaminated surfaces, so it is important to: Avoid direct contact with possible contaminated areas (like community showers in a gym). Change sweaty socks. Thoroughly dry your feet.
Lesions
Are you tired of dealing with pesky warts? We at Gold Coast Podiatry are very excited to announce that we have a brand new and effective treatment for surface based skin lesions, primarily warts.

Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Ankle sprains occur when the ankle is twisted or forced in a way that stretches or tears one or more ligaments. The severity of the injury depends on if the ligaments are stretched, partially torn, or fully torn. Symptoms of an ankle sprain include pain, bruising, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking.
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
Everyone at our podiatry practice is dedicated to treat your foot, ankle, and lower leg ailments and to providing you with education to better avoid future podiatric problems. We believe that every step you take should be pain free and we will work with you to make this a reality.
Achilles Tendonitis
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body, joining the lower portion of the calf to the heel bone. Although it is able to withstand forces of around 1,000 pounds, it is the most frequently ruptured tendon in the body. Typically, injury of the Achilles tendon is caused by athletic activities.
Ankle Sprain
At our podiatry practice, we believe that the more information you have about proper foot care, the better your overall podiatric health will be. That is why we not only treat existing medical conditions, but also provide you with guidelines to minimize your chances of future foot or ankle injuries and ailments.
Bunions Problems
Bunions are bony bumps on the joint of your big or little toe. These protrusions are actually the progression of the misalignment of your toe. They can be caused by heredity, faulty foot mechanics, and even the shoes you wear. You can treat bunions by: Cushioning the bunion. Taking over-the-counter medication for the pain. Wearing shoes that do not put pressure on the bunion. If the pain of your bunion cannot be relieved by any other method, surgery is an option.
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. If you are a diabetic it is very important to see a podiatrist regularly. Studies have shown that diabetics who regularly see their podiatrist suffer far fewer foot complications.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Geriatric Foot Care
Health problems such as diabetes, arthritis, and circulatory issues may cause problems that present themselves in the feet. It is very important to monitor your foot health and seek medical attention whenever you notice a problem. Below are some daily tips and tricks to keep your feet healthy.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a deformity where one or both joints of the toes begin to bend outside of their normal alignment. Pressure can begin to increase on the toes as you wear shoes causing pain and other symptoms.
Heel Spurs
Heel pain is one of the most common foot complaints from patients. While heel spurs may or may not show up on an x-ray, the spurs themselves are a result of the actual problem: plantar fasciitis. At Gold Coast Podiatry we offer a multitude of treatment options including custom molded foot orthotics which are a mainstay of treating plantar fasciitis. If your foot hurts when you first get out of bed or first stand after sitting, come see Dr. Siegel for a complete foot evaluation.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
The easiest way to avoid ingrown toenails is to cut your nails in a straight line. You can slightly round the edges with a nail file; however, you should not cut down the side of your nail. You can also soften rough skin around your nail with moisturizer and a pumice stone.
Metatarsalgia
The design of high heels, from the elevated heel to the narrow toe box, can contribute to various foot conditions, including: Achilles tendinitis. Benign tumors of nerves (neuromas). Blisters. Bunions. Calluses. Corns. Hammertoes. Pain in ball of foot (metatarsalgia). Pump bump (Haglund's deformity).
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 Deformities
Corns are small calluses that usually occur on the top of the toes or between toes in areas that rub in the shoe. Corns are often caused by ill-fitting shoes they can also be caused by foot deformities such as hammertoes. They can grow into unsightly, hardened patches that become painful or inflamed.
Podiatric Surgery
Dr. Siegel is a board certified, surgically trained foot specialist. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Siegel enjoys a high degree of peer recognition which she has earned by being at the forefront of podiatric surgery and by keeping abreast of the latest in cutting edge medical treatments and techniques.
