A doctor of podiatric medicine (DPM) is a specialist who provides medical diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle problems, such as bunions, heel pain, spurs, hammertoes, neuromas, ingrown toenails, warts, corns and calluses. A podiatrist also renders care of sprains, fractures, infections, and injuries of the foot, ankle and heel.
In addition to undergraduate medical school training, podiatrists also attend graduate school for a doctorate degree in podiatry and a residency program. Podiatrists are required to take state and national exams, as well as be licensed by the state in which they practice. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, there are an estimated 15,000 practicing podiatrists in the United States.

Such kind and amazing staff. and Dr. Nieuwenhuis is incredible.
I went to 4 different doctors before I found him. Highly recommend, office is very clean and organized, they are very quick, will not make you wait long to see the doctor. He very, clear to the point, takes care of you, will make sure you don’t leave with any concerns, or unanswered questions. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

Went for arch pain in my feet. They didn’t take x rays or anything just looked at my feet. Said I needed orthotics, got them made. Big surprise they didn’t work at all. Had to go to another doctor who was am in more thorough. So if you like wasting money this is the place for you. I will never be going back.

I picked Foot and Ankle Associates of Wyckoff from the internet because they were close to my home and took my insurance. When I met Dr. Nieuwenhuis Sr. during my visit today, I was glad that I did. He is one of the nicest doctors I have met in my 58 years. He quickly diagnosed that my problem was not as serious as I had feared and within 5 minutes, I was on my way. He also gave me some helpful advice about an old problem. If you are looking for a podiatrist near Wyckoff, your search is over.
