Diabetic Foot Care
Are You Living With Diabetes? Our Experienced Podiatrist will provide you with a unique diabetic foot treatment plan.
Diabetics are prone to poor circulation, have a weakened immune system and impaired nerve function in their feet. Due to poor circulation or lack of sensation after poor circulation, diabetic feet are more susceptible to developing sores, and non-healing wounds which may lead to ulcers. These wounds can also develop into serious infections which can lead to amputations, loss of limbs and even loss of life.
It is important to have your feet examined by a podiatrist, if you are diabetic.
With diabetes, you also have a good chance of developing peripheral neuropathy. Symptoms of this nerve disorder can be pain, numbness, tingling and burning sensation in your feet. Our Podiatrist recommends that you come in for a comprehensive diabetic foot evaluation.
Dr. Howard Dinowitz will use the latest technology to test and assess the circulation to your feet, and determine if you have neuropathy. Once the evaluation is complete, our podiatrist will design a treatment plan specifically for you. If have diabetes please make an appointment, so that we can provide you with the care you'll need to minimize possible complications.

Having an open wound, increases the chances of infection. If you have a non healing wound on your lower extremity, it is essential that you act to get it healed as quickly as possible to prevent infection and further complications. If you have diabetes, you are especially at risk for complications. The sooner a wound is treated the greater the patient's chances are of healing.
Dr. Howard Dinowitz will use the latest technology to perform a comprehensive neurologic, vascular and orthopedic exam. Once the wounds are healed, patients are regularly followed up to help avoid future problems. Please contact us for a comprehensive evaluation.
