Same-day Appointments
While many podiatry offices will delay seeing you, that is not the case with podiatry practice in New Jersey.

We reserve 4 appointment slots daily for urgent patients who might need to be seen right away. So we typically have same-day appointments available.

We offer cryotherapy– a liquid nitrogen dermatologic cryosurgical system for the treatment of plantar warts.
If you suffer from severe foot pain, Dr. Petkov may recommend getting a platelet-rich plasma injection – a natural treatment used as an alternative therapy for plantar fasciitis to reduce heel pain and improve functional restoration.
We also offer a painless, non-invasive diagnostic test, used to evaluate poor circulation problems, such as Peripheral Arterial Disease(PAD.)
