Dr. Thomas F. Bembynista
Our Podiatrist
Podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders of the foot and ankle. A podiatrist holds a doctor of podiatric medicine (D.P.M.) degree, which is a 4-year degree received from one of seven podiatric medical schools in the United States. These schools offer courses similar to the ones given at medical schools where graduates earn M.D.s to become medical doctors. Podiatrists need to have expertise in orthopedics, radiography, sports medicine, and surgery. Some of the conditions that podiatrists treat are heel pain, bunions, ingrown toenails, plantar warts, hammertoes, and Morton's neuroma. They are often the first health professionals to diagnose vascular problems that have previously gone unrecognized. Podiatrists also contribute significantly to the areas of diabetic foot care and wound healing.
