North Jersey Foot and Ankle Center would like to introduce a doctor to our team!

Dr. Annette Buron graduated magna cm laude with a dual Bachelor of Science degree from Rutgers University–Newark and UMDNJ School of Health Related Professions. She earned her Doctorate in Podiatric Medicine from New York College of Podiatric Medicine in New York, NY.

Dr. Buron completed a comprehensive three-year residency program at the Department of Veterans Affairs – New Jersey Health Care System in East Orange, NJ, where she served as chief resident during her final year. Her training focused on comprehensive podiatric care, including the management of diabetic foot conditions, wound care, and both forefoot and rearfoot pathologies.

A lifelong resident of northern New Jersey, Dr. Buron enjoys spending her free time with her husband, family, and friends. She likes traveling, hiking, and trying new recipes. She also enjoys watching hockey and going to games (let’s go Devils!). She was originally interested in becoming a veterinarian, but a foot injury and excellent care from a podiatrist sealed the deal. She also speaks Polish!

Flat feet are common in young children, but did you know that in some cases, they can lead to foot pain, posture issues, or difficulty walking as they grow?

While many kids naturally develop arches over time, some may need extra support to prevent future discomfort.
A podiatry assessment can help determine if your child's flat feet are part of normal development or if intervention is needed.

If you've noticed your child struggling with foot pain or awkward walking patterns, book an assessment with one of our podiatrists today!

Is this cold weather attacking your feet?

Winter doesn't mean just boots and coats; it often brings uninvited guests like Chilblains, cracked heels, and even circulation issues like Raynaud's.
Your feet are the furthest body part from your heart, making them vulnerable to the drop in temperature.

**Winter survival tips:***
- Moisturize daily: avoid the area in between your toes
-Choose the right socks: wool or moisture-wicking materials are best.
-Stay warm, not hot: avoid putting frozen feet directly near a heater.

Schedule an appointment if your heels are bleeding, or toes change color, and feel numb.

Some symptoms get louder at night, and that's more common than you think.
When the day slows down, your body has space to signal what needs attention.

If nighttime discomfort keeps showing up, it's not something to ignore.
