Modern office with an "old -fashioned" approach...

Footluxe of Long Island  has an “old fashioned” approach when it comes to patient care.  We focus  on patient-physician communication,  providing patients with quality care without  focusing on an allotted period of time. While  some  practices focus on increasing patient volume, packing their waiting rooms; we  believe in quality of care our patients receive. Appropriate treatment includes a thorough history of the patient ailment and complete exam with a full discussion of treatment plan, which our doctor discusses with each patient. It is not enough to relieve our patient’s immediate foot  ailment, we focus on the etiology of the pain because in determining the cause, we can not only treat but also prevent recurrences in the future.  At Footluxe of Long Island, we believe that the body should be treated as a whole entity, providing patient  with full treatment plans including referrals  to other specialists, not all foot ailments are isolated only to the feet. We also provider home visits for patient residing in Nassau County, specifically our geriatric and disabled patients.
