Overview
Diabetes can reduce both circulation and sensation in the feet, which means small problems may go unnoticed until they become serious. Regular podiatric care is one of the most effective ways to prevent complications and protect long-term foot health.
Dr. Melamed provides attentive, preventative diabetic foot care focused on early detection and ongoing management — helping patients stay healthy, comfortable, and mobile.
