Staff Appreciation Spotlight: Mary Jiunta

Each month, I will feature one of our team members, because our practice would not be what it is without each and every one of them. Today, I want to recognize someone who truly is the heart of our practice, Mary Jiunta.

Mary has been a dedicated part of our team for six years, and her commitment to patient care has never wavered. A proud mother of three and a loving grandmother, Mary brings the same compassion, patience, and warmth to our patients that she brings to her family every day.

With a long history in podiatry, including working alongside her husband, Thomas Jiunta, DPM, and now continuing her journey with us, Mary’s experience and professionalism are invaluable. In her role as a medical assistant, Mary is involved in every part of the patient experience. She assists with prior authorizations, rooms patients, performs X-rays, and supports both our providers and patients with compassion, efficiency, and professionalism. She ensures that every patient feels supported and cared for from the moment they walk through our doors.

What truly sets Mary apart is her genuine love for helping others. Her kindness, work ethic, and attention to detail do not go unnoticed, and our patients feel it every single day.

We are so grateful for you, Mary. Thank you for your dedication, your compassion, and the countless ways you support both our patients and our team. We are incredibly lucky to have you and are proud to celebrate you today.

**Drop Foot & Nerve Pain: Does Treatment Really Work?**

Nerve related conditions like drop foot affect thousands of patients each year, and studies consistently show that early, targeted intervention leads to better functional outcomes. When nerve compression, inflammation, or injury is identified and treated early, patients are more likely to improve strength, balance, and walking ability.

At **Restorative Limb Center**, we focus on identifying the root cause of nerve dysfunction, not just managing symptoms. Our approach combines advanced diagnostics with personalized, nerve-focused treatment plans designed to improve mobility, reduce fall risk, and help patients regain confidence.

If you or a loved one is experiencing foot weakness, frequent tripping, numbness, or nerve pain, evaluation matters. Modern nerve focused care can make a real difference.
