Podiatry involves the medical
care and treatment of foot and ankle conditions. Podiatrists
are licensed to perform surgery on a patient for all portions
of the extremity below the knee. Unlike other health care
professionals, podiatrists primarily specialize in the care
of foot and ankle during the course of their complete medial
education. They have special understanding and knowledge of
the biomechanics of the foot, proper molding of orthotics,
diabetic foot care, and are trained in all surgical procedures
for correcting deformities of the foot, including bunion conditions,
hammertoe conditions, bone spurs, neuromas, and other painful
conditions.
Dr. Birjandi's practice covers people of all
ages- from children through adult life. Her practice includes
the treatment of sports-related injuries as well as the care
and treatment of all other patients.
