Two Convenient Long Island Locations
We know that convenience matters. That is why Comprehensive Podiatry Associates, P.C. Foot Specialists operates two fully equipped podiatry offices — one in East Setauket at 35 Shore Road and one in Selden at 871 Middle Country Road — serving patients across a wide area of Suffolk County. Whether you live in Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, Centereach, Smithtown, Coram, or anywhere in between, there is a Comprehensive Podiatry Associates, P.C. Foot Specialists location that is close to home and easy to get to. Both offices offer the same comprehensive range of services and the same high standard of care, so you never have to compromise on quality for the sake of convenience.
Experienced, Board-Qualified Podiatrists
Our podiatric team brings decades of combined clinical experience to every patient encounter. Our physicians are trained in podiatric medicine and foot and ankle surgery, with expertise spanning the full spectrum of podiatric care — from conservative management of common conditions to complex surgical corrections. We stay current with advancements in podiatric medicine and regularly incorporate evidence-based techniques and technologies into our practice. When you come to Comprehensive Podiatry Associates, P.C. Foot Specialists, you are in the hands of podiatrists who have seen thousands of cases and bring real-world expertise to your care.
In-House Digital X-Rays for Same-Visit Diagnosis
Time matters when you are in pain. That is why both of our offices are equipped with state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology that allows us to image your foot or ankle right in our office and review the results with you immediately — no referrals, no separate imaging appointments, no waiting. Digital X-rays also expose you to significantly less radiation than traditional film X-rays. This means faster diagnosis, faster treatment, and a more efficient experience for every patient from start to finish.
Truly Personalized Treatment Plans
No two patients are exactly alike — and neither are their treatment plans at Comprehensive Podiatry Associates, P.C. Foot Specialists. We take time to understand your complete medical history, your lifestyle, your activity level, and your personal goals before recommending any course of care. Whether you are a competitive runner dealing with Achilles tendonitis, a senior patient managing diabetic foot complications, or a parent seeking help for their child’s foot development concerns, we build a care plan that is tailored specifically to you — not a template pulled off a shelf.
Conservative Care First — Surgery Only When Necessary
We believe strongly in exhausting all conservative, non-surgical options before recommending an operation. The vast majority of foot and ankle conditions can be successfully managed without surgery through custom orthotics, physical therapy, medications, bracing, and other non-invasive approaches. When surgery is warranted, our podiatric surgeons perform a full range of surgical corrections — from bunionectomies and hammertoe repairs to fracture fixation and ligament reconstruction — with a focus on achieving lasting results and getting you back to full function as quickly as possible.
Comprehensive Care for the Whole Family
From children experiencing their first pediatric foot issues to older adults seeking specialized geriatric foot care, Comprehensive Podiatry Associates, P.C. Foot Specialists is a practice for the whole family. We also serve athletes with our dedicated sports medicine program, patients with diabetes through our specialized diabetic foot care services, and patients with complex wounds through our advanced wound care program. Whatever your age or foot concern, you will find a knowledgeable, compassionate team ready to help.
A Practice Built on Trust and Results
The best measure of any medical practice is the experiences of its patients — and the feedback we receive from our patients speaks for itself. Patients praise our physicians for their skill, patience, and genuine care, and they frequently mention our staff’s warmth and professionalism as making even difficult medical situations feel manageable. We have built lasting relationships with patients and families throughout Long Island, and we take that trust seriously every single day. Our commitment to excellence in podiatric care is not a marketing message — it is the standard we hold ourselves to in every exam room, at every appointment, for every patient.

Our team is experienced in the unique foot health needs of each age group and provides age-appropriate evaluation, treatment, and preventive care.
Do I need a referral to be seen at your practice?

Do you perform surgeries at your office locations?
Minor in-office procedures — such as ingrown toenail removal, neuroma injections, and certain wound care procedures — are performed directly in our offices. Larger surgical corrections such as bunionectomies, hammertoe repairs, and fracture fixation are performed at a surgical facility. Your podiatrist will discuss all the details of any recommended procedure, including where it will be performed and what to expect.

We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most major commercial insurance plans. We recommend calling our office at prior to your first appointment to confirm that your specific plan is accepted and to understand any referral or authorization requirements.
What is your approach to treating patients who are afraid of foot surgery?
We understand that surgery can feel intimidating, and we never recommend it unless it is truly in the patient’s best interest. Our philosophy is conservative care first — we exhaust every non-surgical option before considering an operation. When surgery is recommended, we take the time to explain exactly what will happen, what recovery involves, and what outcomes you can realistically expect, so you can make a fully informed decision with confidence.
