Your practice's motto is "advanced foot and ankle care." Can you tell me a little bit more about the advanced technologies that are being used in your office?
Tip: Many people turn to a podiatrist thinking that they have a foot condition. In a large percentage of cases, it turns out to be in relation to some other systemic disease. If you notice anything odd with your feet, experience pain or discomfort, don't wait too long before visiting an experienced podiatrist. The American Podiatric Medical Association's website is an excellent source of finding one in your area.
Under the direction of expert podiatrist Velimir Petkov, DPM, the team at Premier Podiatry offers cutting-edge solutions for a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions. This state-of-the-art Clifton, New Jersey podiatry practice is conveniently located on Clifton Avenue.
Dr. Petkov has an extensive background in innovative treatments, which began with the best training. He graduated from Chicago's top podiatry program, the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. He then finished his residency at the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in New York, focusing on foot surgery, sports medicine, diabetic wound care, and limb salvage. Dr. Petkov has 10 years of post-surgical experience treating thousands of New Jersey residents.
Dr. Petkov is experienced in some of the most advanced minimally invasive procedures for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis. In his modern, family-friendly podiatry office, he offers regenerative therapies such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and K-Laser therapy. Cryotherapy is also available for the treatment of plantar warts.
Patients of Dr. Petkov appreciate his willingness to spend time with them during appointments and educate them about their foot conditions. While Dr. Petkov can diagnose and treat an array of ailments related to the lower extremities, he has special interests in sports medicine, wound care, and pediatric podiatry.
This state-of-the-art practice is home to some of the most advanced diagnostic technologies including a high-frequency digital x-ray and high-resolution diagnostic ultrasound imaging. 3D custom molded orthotics are available to patients. Revolutionary technology also allows Dr. Petkov to produce same-day custom-fit orthotics created by utilizing lightweight, light-curing composite materials that mold directly to a patient's foot in under 5 minutes.
The office offers online booking for appointments, an integrated secure patient portal and electronic check-in via tablets for a streamlined experience and convenient access.
Dr. Petkov and the team at Premier Podiatry welcome new patients. Appointments are available same-day, late evenings and on weekends. Call 973-315-5555 or visit www.premier-podiatry.com to schedule your consultation.
