Question 1

How much does an appointment typically cost?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a visit depends on the type of evaluation needed, your condition, and your insurance coverage. Before treatment begins, our team will review expected costs with you so you understand what's involved and can make an informed decision.

Question 2

Do you accept insurance, and will you help verify coverage?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Our office staff can assist with insurance verification and explain coverage details before your appointment, so billing questions don't become a distraction from your care.

Question 3

Will I automatically need injections or surgery?

Accepted Answer

No. Many foot and ankle conditions respond well to conservative care such as activity adjustments, supportive devices, or targeted treatment plans. Injections or surgery are discussed only when appropriate and after other options have been carefully considered.

Question 4

What happens during my first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first appointment focuses on understanding what's causing your symptoms. This includes a detailed discussion of your concerns, a clinical evaluation, and a clear explanation of findings. You'll leave knowing what the issue is and what options make sense moving forward.

Question 5

How quickly can I get an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Same-week appointments are often available, and urgent concerns are accommodated whenever possible. Our goal is to address pain and mobility issues promptly, without rushing the evaluation itself.

Question 6

Do you treat both new patients and long-term conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly see new patients and also manage ongoing or chronic foot and ankle conditions that require follow-up care, adjustments, or long-term planning.

Question 7

Where are you located, and is parking available?

Accepted Answer

Our office is located at 1165 Northern Blvd., Manhasset, New York, with convenient access from nearby main roads. Parking is available nearby, and our team can help with directions if needed before your visit.

Question 8

What should I expect after treatment begins?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive clear guidance on next steps, expected progress, and follow-up care. We explain what improvement typically looks like and adjust the plan as needed based on how you respond to treatment.
