Not all heels are the enemy. 👠

While really narrow, pointy high heels can definitely create problems for your feet, some shoes with a little heel, like a block heel or platform, can actually be more supportive and beneficial for certain foot conditions.

The key is finding the right shape, width, and support for your feet. If you’re unsure whether your shoes are helping or hurting, bring them in and we’ll gladly take a look with you.

Athletes put their feet through a lot, and that means they’re often more prone to foot problems than non-athletes. From sweaty shoes and locker rooms to constant impact, side-to-side movement, and pressure on the joints, issues like athlete’s foot, nail fungus, blisters, corns, and calluses can become very common.

That’s why proper foot care matters. At Advanced Foot Care, we help athletes stay comfortable, protected, and performing at their best with expert evaluations, custom orthotics when needed, and treatment plans designed to keep feet healthy and pain-free.

If you’re active in sports and dealing with foot pain, irritation, or recurring infections, don’t ignore it.

Your shoes play a huge role in your foot health 👟

Over the years we’ve seen a lot of trends come and go, including the barefoot running craze. But for most people, suddenly switching to barefoot walking or running after years of wearing shoes can actually cause more problems than it solves.

Proper footwear matters.

✔ Breathable socks like cotton help keep your feet healthy
✔ Shoes should have a wide and deep toe box so your toes have room to move
✔ Tight shoes and high heels can lead to bunions, corns, calluses, and hammertoes

When shoes squeeze the toes together, it can slowly change the structure of your foot over time.

Your feet carry you through life. Make sure your shoes are helping, not hurting.

Here’s something you should NEVER do after foot surgery…

If your surgeon tells you to be strictly non-weight bearing, that means no standing, no “just for a second,” no testing it out.

Foot joints are extremely small and delicate. Even a little pressure too soon can lead to:

• Broken surgical hardware
• Non-union of the bone or joint
• Excessive swelling
• Delayed healing

When we say no weight, we mean it. Protect your results. Protect your recovery.

If you have questions about your post-op instructions, we’re here to help.

Donna’s story is one we hear more often than people realize.

After two foot surgeries, she was left feeling limited, frustrated, and unheard. A fusion surgery that reduced her mobility. A bunion surgery that didn’t correct the problem. And no one fully explaining what that would mean for her long-term movement.

Then she found Dr. Pedram Hendizadeh at Advanced Foot Care in Manhasset NY.

Instead of being treated like “just another patient,” she was treated like a whole person. Her previous surgery was corrected. Her mobility was restored. She was properly supported with orthotics. And most importantly — she got her life back.

Now?

She’s walking.
She’s jumping.
She’s back at the gym.

Two working feet. Full confidence. Total gratitude.

If you’ve had foot surgery that didn’t go as planned, or you’re being told fusion is your only option, get a second opinion.

You deserve to understand your options. You deserve mobility. You deserve to move freely again.

Every patient is different. Some prefer light compression, some don’t. Some like thicker socks, others go thin and breathable. The key is finding what works best for you.

But for our diabetic patients, especially those with neuropathy, we strongly recommend white socks.

Why?
Because if you cannot feel your feet, you need to be able to see a problem early.

White socks make it easier to spot:
• Drainage
• Bleeding
• Wound formation
• Signs of infection

That early visibility can make a huge difference in preventing serious complications.

Small change. Big protection.

If you have diabetes and are unsure what type of socks you should be wearing, call us at (516) 869-3300 or visit www.advancedfootcare.com to schedule an appointment.

Toenail fungus that won’t go away? We were the first on Long Island to bring FDA-approved laser technology for fungal nails back in 2009. 👣✨

At Advanced Foot Care, we use the PinPointe FootLaser — the only FDA-approved laser specifically designed to treat toenail fungus.

Why patients choose this treatment:

✅ FDA-approved technology
✅ Targets fungus at the root
✅ 1 to 3 treatments
✅ Safe and effective
✅ No downtime

If it didn’t work, we wouldn’t offer it.

Depending on severity, we may combine laser treatment with topical solutions or oral medication to maximize results. The goal is clear, healthy nails and long-term success.

If you’re tired of hiding your feet, let’s fix the problem the right way.

I chose podiatry because it was personal.

My grandfather was diabetic.
My father was diabetic.

I saw firsthand how diabetes can affect the feet and completely change someone’s quality of life.

That experience shaped my mission as a physician.

I wanted to help diabetic patients protect their mobility, their independence, and their future. And I made a vow early in my career that I would become one of the best doctors in the country.

Through dedication to patient-first care, I was honored to be rated a Top Doctor by RateMDs in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017.

We started as a small, mom-and-pop style office. Even as we’ve grown, we’ve never lost that feeling.

We believe in independence.
We believe in listening to our staff.
We believe in supporting our doctors.

But most importantly, we believe in putting our patients first.

Because when you treat patients like family, everything else falls into place.

– Dr. Pedram A. Hendizadeh, DPM, FACFAS
