Why Diabetic Foot Care is Crucial

Diabetes can lead to serious foot complications, making proper foot care essential. Common issues include:

Neuropathy: Neuropathy is one of the most serious complications of diabetes. Our guide to diabetic neuropathy foot care explains how to protect your feet before symptoms start.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Poor circulation can slow wound healing and increase the risk of infections.
Foot Ulcers: Open sores that can become infected and lead to severe complications, including amputation.

Regular checkups and proactive care help prevent serious problems and ensure optimal foot health.

Moisturize, But Avoid Between Toes: Prevent dryness and cracking, but avoid excess moisture between toes to prevent fungal infections.

Choose Proper Footwear: Wear well-fitted, cushioned shoes to protect your feet.

  I highly recommend this office! I left a message late last night, and they called me back at 9:00 a.m. the next morning and were able to squeeze my daughter in to see Dr. Evan Vieira that same day. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly, and the office is very clean. As soon as my daughter and I walked in, the front desk warmly welcomed us and made us feel comfortable. Dr. Vieira took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly and made sure we understood everything. Another big plus is the convenient parking. There's a large parking lot, so there's no need to worry about finding street parking. The office is located next to CVS on 188th Street in Fresh Meadows, making it very easy to find. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this office!

  I had an amazing experience with Dr. Vieira. From the very beginning, he took his time to explain each step of the procedure in a clear and easy-to-understand way, without overwhelming me with medical terminology. He communicated thoroughly throughout the entire process and consistently made sure I was comfortable. The procedure itself was super fast, and he stayed right by my side the entire time. What I truly loved most was that Dr. Vieira created space for open communication and welcomed any questions I had. It made me feel comfortable reaching out without ever feeling like a burden as a patient. That level of approachability and genuine connection made a huge difference and helped me feel safe and supported. He also made sure I clearly understood the healing process and next steps before I left. Dr. Lee was also amazing. She has such a warm, outgoing energy and communicates so well that she immediately makes you feel at ease. Together, their personalities complement each other perfectly. Their teamwork is phenomenal, and the office environment feels welcoming, safe, and honestly like home. The practice is in a very convenient location, and the staff is willing to work with you. I gave this practice five stars because I have absolutely no complaints. I felt safe, trusted the doctors completely, and walked away with new knowledge and confidence. I would highly recommend Dr. Vieira and Dr. Lee — 10/10 experience.

  I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional care Dr. Vieira provided during my recent nanoplasty bunion correction surgery. I am truly amazed at how good my foot looks, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. His expertise made the entire experience far easier than I anticipated. The procedure was remarkably less invasive, and the recovery time has been easier and less painful. Thank you again for your outstanding work and for helping me heal so smoothly. I deeply appreciate everything you’ve done. Joanna
