We look forward to fully serving all your Podiatric needs. Bunions can compromise the alignment of the other toes causing discomfort and hampering normal activities.

Bunions are often genetic; we sometimes see generations of women in the same family with bunions. Hammertoes are progressive - they don't go away by themselves and usually will get worse over time. However, not all cases are alike - some hammertoes progress more rapidly than others. Heel pain is one of the most common complaints among our patients, and it's no wonder - the feet take on 60 tons of stress for every mile you walk.

Special thanks to Chaz, Cindy, and Julie who were always professional and caring. My recovery has exceeded all expectations. I am doing great and almost ready to do my other foot. Thank you again!

Dr. Bar-David saw me on very short notice for a painful toe fracture, which he reset and got me booted and walking out the door in less than one hour! Expedient, pleasant! Best doctor visit I have had in years!

As a RN who is always on my feet my bunion was killing me. Dr Bar-David answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable. The surgery was great and the recovery was much better than I could have imagined. The office staff was great as well! Would definitely recommend for your surgery needs. I have recommended others for consultation and will be back in the future for my other bunion.

Dr.Tzvi Bar-David is a great doctor. My eight year old daughter had ingrown toe nails and he helped her so much with them. He made sure she was calm and okay. Best doctor ever!!

Hi!
I had to come on here to let you know that my experience with Foot Associates of New York is so far AMAZING!!! Had surgery with Dr. Tzvi Bar David on February 6 and in less than a month later, I’m able to wear sneakers and start walking on the foot.
The procedure that I had is called is mau reverdin, and it was on my left foot. This procedure included a metal plate, and screws, which enables one to heal, and get back to walking way quicker. This surgery was to remove a painful bunion and to straighten my big toe.
The before and after X-rays were unbelievable! My unsightly and painful bunion

My experience with Dr.Bar-David has been great. It exceeded my expectation in many ways. From the moment I had my first consult to the day of the surgery Dr.Bar-David and his staff made me feel comfortable and confident about the procedure. Before I consulted with Dr.Bar-David I was very nervous and hesitant about getting a bunionectomy due to the pain and healing process. But everything went smooth and pain was very minimal. After 3 months post op I am very satisfied with the results and the best part is that the scars are not noticeable. If you are looking into getting surgery I recommend you

I highly recommend Dr. Bar David. I am a hairdresser and suffered from hammertoes and bunions I had surgery almost 3 years ago and I’m pain-free. I was recommended by my mother and my sisters who also had surgery by him. I was back to work in a matter of a week I am very grateful for his expertise. He has also operated on bone spurs on my toes and now I can wear all my shoes again. My family has recommended Many people to him who have also been very pleased

It is truly wonderful when you meet a doctor who is professional and has outstanding bedside manners. I was amazed after my surgery when he gave me his cell # over a holiday weekend in the event that I needed to call him. His concern made me feel safe and comfortable. He took his time to explain pre-op & post up care in addition to my progress during my follow up visits. My surgery was a success. I am grateful to Dr Bar-David and his wonderful staff. Thank you ~

Dr. Bar-David is an excellent doctor and surgeon. He operated on both of my feet for bunions and hammer toes. The results are amazing. He never forced the surgery and said it was my decision but that he was an excellent Doctor and he was right. His staff is A-one. They are friendly and very capable of their jobs.
