Downtown Podiatry Physicians

Who We Are

At Downtown Podiatry Physicians, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional foot and ankle care through a combination of clinical expertise, advanced technology, and a deeply personalised approach. As a leading podiatry practice in New York City, our mission is to help patients move comfortably, confidently, and pain-free in their daily lives. We understand that foot and ankle conditions can significantly impact mobility, independence, and overall well-being, which is why we prioritise accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans for every individual.

Our philosophy is centred on patient-first care. Every consultation is thorough and educational, ensuring patients fully understand their condition and the available treatment options. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we take the time to listen, assess, and create customised solutions that align with each patient’s lifestyle and goals.

With modern facilities and state-of-the-art equipment, our clinics are designed to provide a seamless and comfortable experience from the moment you walk in. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, a sports-related injury, or a cosmetic concern, our team is committed to guiding you through every step of your care journey with professionalism, empathy, and precision.

Our approach to podiatric care combines innovation with compassion, ensuring patients receive the highest standard of treatment available. At Downtown Podiatry Physicians, we specialise in both non-surgical and minimally invasive surgical solutions, allowing for faster recovery times, reduced discomfort, and optimal long-term outcomes. From common conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, and corns to more complex foot and ankle disorders, our treatments are designed to restore function while minimising disruption to your daily life.

Our team stays at the forefront of podiatric advancements, utilising modern surgical techniques and technology to enhance precision and improve recovery. This commitment to innovation ensures that our patients benefit from the most effective and up-to-date treatments available. By combining technical excellence with a patient-focused mindset, we aim to deliver results that not only relieve pain but also improve overall quality of life.

Each member of our team brings extensive training, clinical experience, and a commitment to excellence in patient care. Our podiatrists are board-certified or board-qualified surgeons who have completed rigorous medical education and specialised residency training in foot and ankle surgery.

Our doctors are not only experts in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions, but they also prioritise building strong relationships with patients. By listening carefully and understanding individual concerns, they develop treatment plans that are both effective and personalised. This collaborative approach ensures patients feel supported, informed, and confident throughout their care journey.

Commitment to Excellence & Patient Experience

At Downtown Podiatry Physicians, excellence is reflected not only in our medical outcomes but also in the overall patient experience. From the moment you schedule your appointment to the completion of your treatment, every interaction is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and supportive. Our clinics offer flexible scheduling, including same-day appointments, to ensure patients receive timely care when they need it most.

We pride ourselves on maintaining a welcoming and professional environment, supported by a dedicated team that values respect, communication, and attention to detail. Our concierge-style service ensures that each patient feels prioritised and cared for at every stage of their visit.

High quality service. Dr Mehta is very professional and knowledgeable. She is very courteous and was able to obtain my results promptly. She knew exactly what treatment is needed and addressed all my questions and concerns.

— High quality service

Absolutely loved my experience! Dr. Giustiniano was very kind and listened to what I had to say. I left with more knowledge of what is going on and a treatment plan of how to improve my situation. Really happy to find such a caring and compassionate doctor!

— Absolutely loved my experience!

Dr. Mehta is professional, caring, thoughtful and everything you want in a doctor when you are in pain, a bit afraid and want to be helped on the path to healing. I felt heard, understood and reassured as well as given the care and guidance to take care of myself post-visit. I can't recommend Dr. Mehta enough.

— Professional, Caring, and Thoughtful

I’ve been treated by Dr. Giustiniano of Downtown Podiatry Physicians over the years. The practice dealt with my Plantar Fasciitis and ankle issues as well as arch/heel problems. It’s close to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan so the location is perfect. In every instance the Dr. was thorough in my examination and correctly assessed the location/cause of the pain I experienced- P. Badami.
