FAQ

Questions About Foot & Ankle Care

1. What conditions do podiatrists at North Island Podiatry treat?

We treat a wide range of foot and ankle problems including bunions, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, hammertoes, arthritis, sports injuries, diabetic foot conditions, circulation problems, and fractures. Our surgeons also specialize in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery.

2. Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

In most cases, you can book an appointment directly without a referral. However, some insurance plans may require one. Our office staff will help verify your insurance and guide you through the process.

3. What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring your insurance card, a photo ID, a list of current medications, and any recent imaging (X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds) or test results. If you are coming for foot pain, wear or bring the shoes you use most often.

4. Do you treat diabetic foot problems?

Yes. Diabetic patients often experience nerve damage and poor circulation that can lead to ulcers, infections, and serious complications. We provide comprehensive diabetic foot care including regular checkups, wound care, and surgical interventions when needed.

5. When should I see a podiatrist instead of my primary doctor?

If you have persistent foot or ankle pain, swelling, difficulty walking, or wounds that do not heal, you should see a podiatrist. Podiatrists have advanced training in foot and ankle conditions and can provide both non-surgical and surgical treatment options.

6. Do you perform foot and ankle surgery?

Yes. Our board-certified foot and ankle surgeons perform procedures ranging from bunion and hammertoe correction to complex reconstructive surgery for arthritis, sports injuries, and trauma. We’ll always try conservative treatments first, but surgery may be recommended if pain persists.

7. What insurance plans do you accept?

We accept most major insurance plans. Please call our office to confirm coverage before your appointment. Our staff will help answer any questions about billing or out-of-pocket costs.

8. How can I prevent foot and ankle problems?

Wearing supportive shoes, maintaining a healthy weight, stretching regularly, and managing conditions like diabetes can all help. We also recommend regular checkups, especially if you are active in sports or have a medical condition that affects your feet.

9. How long does it take to recover from foot or ankle surgery?

Recovery time depends on the type of procedure and your overall health. Some patients return to normal activities within a few weeks, while more complex surgeries may take several months. Our team will provide a personalized recovery plan and guide you through every step of the healing process.

10. How do I make an appointment?

You can schedule an appointment online through our website or by calling our office directly at +(347) 442-5847. We have multiple locations across New York for your convenience, and same-day appointments are often available for urgent issues.
