NYU Langone Podiatry Associates —Upper West Side

NYU Langone Podiatry Associates—Upper West Side is an integral part of the bustling West Side community. Since 1959, we have provided the highest-quality, personalized care to multiple generations of people. As a fixture in the community, we also see many people who are referred to us for second opinions.

We provide care for people of all ages and offer the most advanced treatment for a wide range of foot and ankle conditions in one convenient location. Our podiatrists offer both surgical and nonsurgical treatments.

When surgery is necessary, our doctors use techniques that reduce recovery time, swelling, and pain. We perform simple outpatient procedures, such as biopsies and wart removals, in our office for your comfort and convenience. We are also a trusted source for people who have had foot surgery elsewhere and need a second surgical procedure—also referred to as revision surgery—to correct it.

In addition, we offer on-site advanced imaging services. You can also see an orthotist to be fitted for custom orthotics.
