Diabetic Foot Care
PROPER MANAGEMENT OF THE DIABETIC FOOT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.
The American Diabetes Association strongly recommends all patients with diabetes seek treatment from a podiatric physician. The practice of Marc Haspel, DPM meets the needs of all patients with diabetes. Because diabetic patients are prone to poor circulation, and may have impaired nerve function with burning and numbness in their feet, they are more susceptible to developing wounds which may lead to ulcers and infections. These problems can result in amputation, loss of limb and even loss of life.
Dr. Haspel performs comprehensive foot evaluations using the latest technology to test and assess the circulation and nerve status of every diabetic patient. He then designs an appropriate treatment plan for each individual patient.
