How to Choose the Right Podiatrist in New York — And What to Do If Something Goes Wrong
In this series, we’ll walk you through what questions to ask, how to choose the right podiatrist or foot specialist, and what steps to take if something goes wrong. Our goal is to give you the tools to make informed decisions about your foot health — and avoid potential medical complications that can lead to serious consequences.
Too often, people assume that foot problems are minor and don’t require much attention. But when left untreated — or treated improperly — these seemingly small issues can lead to major problems. We’ve worked with individuals who went to a podiatrist for what seemed like a routine issue, only to end up undergoing unnecessary surgery. In some cases, that surgery led to multiple follow-up procedures and even permanent, life-altering outcomes.
That’s why we’ve created this educational series. We want to help you:
- Decide whether a podiatrist or orthopedic surgeon is the right choice for your specific condition
- Know what questions to ask before agreeing to surgery or treatment
- Understand what to expect at your first podiatry appointment
- Know your rights as a patient in New York
- Learn what steps to take if you believe you’ve been the victim of podiatry malpractice
At our firm, we specialize in helping individuals across New York navigate the legal and medical aspects of malpractice and personal injury claims. Our mission is to educate, empower, and support you so you can protect your health and your future.
If you have questions at any point during your journey — whether you’re choosing a provider or dealing with a complication — don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help.
