As a foot and ankle specialist, our main goal for all of our patients is to find caring solutions that last a lifetime. We will not just treat the symptom. We will strive to correct the problem. Dr. Markantone is Board Certified by both The American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and The American Board of Podiatric Orthopedics and Medicine. He is one of less than 1% of all practicing podiatrists with Certification by both boards; this allows Dr Markantone the knowledge to provide his patients with both conservative as well all surgical treatment options.
Services
A podiatrist, also called a doctor of podiatric medicine, is a specialist who provides medical diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle problems, including, but not limited to sprains and fractures, bunions, heel pain/spurs, hammertoes, neuromas, ingrown toenails, warts, corns and calluses. A podiatrist also renders care of sprains, fractures, infections, and injuries of the foot, ankle and heel. Four years of undergraduate medical school training and four years of podiatric medical school to obtain their podiatric medical degree.
Some serious foot disorders, and even more common conditions, can be linked to one avoidable thing: inappropriate, poor quality or ill-fitting shoes. Any podiatrist will tell you that a good quality, properly fitting shoe pays big dividends for your feet down the road. When shopping for shoes, always make sure to not force your feet in order to conform to the shape of a pair of shoes. The most important quality to look for in shoes is durable construction that will protect your feet and keep them comfortable.
A shoe has many different components. If you understand basic shoe construction, you can make a more informed decision from among the thousands of available styles. The toe box is the tip of the shoe that provides space for the toes. Toe boxes are either rounded or pointed and will determine the amount of space provided for the toes.

Dr. Markatone is an excellent doctor! My son has flat feet and was always in pain playing high school lacrosse. Dr. Markatone made my son metal orthotic inserts which he has worn since getting them. My son's pain disappeared. Both my son and I are soooooo thankful for Dr. Markatone's expert advice which has allowed my son to live a pain free life. Don't hesitate to make an appointment. What have you got to lose?
