Services
Custom Molded Foot Orthotics and Custom Molded Birkenstock Sandals are biomechanical medical appliances designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. The custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle.
Fungal toenail infections can be caused by many different types of fungi, yeasts, or molds. A fungal nail infection occurs from the overgrowth of fungi in the nail. Don't limit your treatment to outdated topical and oral medications when our Laser Nail Therapy is the latest in technology and most effective treatment available.
Finally there is an answer for stubborn warts. SWIFT Microwave Wart therapy is the cutting edge treatment in Plantar Wart / Verruca destruction. SWIFT is the quick and clean new treatment for warts. Unlike cryotherapy, salicylic acid, and laser, SWIFT does not break the surface of the skin and eliminates the need for bandages or dressings.
The KeryFlex Nail RestorationSystem is an immediate cosmetic improvement providing a natural-looking nail. KeryFlex is a painless, in-office application similar to gel nail polish, without the damaging effects. Keryflex is a medical grade composite resin, impregnated with an antifungal solution, that allows the remaining natural nail to grow.
Joint Filler Therapy instantly relieves discomfort in people with painful bunions. Joint pain injection therapies are non-surgical alternatives created to work with the body's biological processes, providing a natural lubricant into the joint. By injecting hyaluronic acid directly into affected areas, we are able to restore the lubricating and shock-absorbing properties of joint fluid, which are normally depleted.

Dr. Lilker was very thorough and kind with explaining the procedure I needed done to help with my toe situation. He is very personable and shares stories about his life to make the time spent during the visit a pleasant one. He even explained costs which most doctors never do which is appreciated from the patient end.

The best podiatrist in nyc!
Doctor Raphael is courteous, professional and to the point. The waiting time is minimal, the front desk is very helpful and friendly.
After weeks of pain I found the doctor based on reviews on Google and I was very happy with the whole procedure. He responded to me on the weekend and made sure I could get an appointment asap (much appreciated).
His bedside manner is immaculate, and made the whole surgery very easy. After that, I had the appointment for the follow-up to make sure everything was healing properly.
Also their office is very cute 😁!!!

I have been to several podiatrists over the years and have not been pleased. After my first visit with Dr. Lilker today I AM VERY PLEASED. He is thorough, easy to talk to and offers options for care but no pressure. He CLEANED my feet. That means that he actually cut my nails and filed them. I didn't recognize them when he was done. I have a fungus and ingrown toenails and after one visit I see a difference. His offices are modern and clean and there was no wait time. I look forward to seeing him on a regular basis.

After only being in NYC for two weeks I had an emergency with my toe nail. I am extremely grateful for the entire office! The front peeps were able to sneak me in the same day of my incident and the location was perfect. Modern check in with iPads and the front desk peeps were so incredibly nice! Dr. Raphael, best “bedside manner,” continuously checking in with pain level and comfort. Very lucky to have found this office and probably will never go anywhere else.

One of the best doctors visits I've ever had, even with the amount of pain coming into it. Dr. Lilker is incredible at making his patients feel welcome, heard, supported, safe, and understood. He will listen to everything you have to say. He is careful, patient, and meticulous in his work. He keeps you entertained and laughing but also educates you with each and every move/decision.
I cannot recommend him enough to anyone looking for a doctor who wants to help you find solutions and lets you be part of the process to get there. He really is amazing and I am so grateful to have found him!

Outstanding! The doctor was very kind and informative. Answered all my questions and concerns. He also showed me the new state of the art software and developments now implemented to correct foot issues if I should need them in the future. The office is beautiful and reception was warm and welcoming. He also seemed like he genuinely care for my well being which always makes me feel better. Would highly recommend this doctor.

Hands down the best orthopedic doc in town. I've met my fair share over the years but I have to say, Lilker takes the cake. Always smiling, always responsive, always has the answers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I have an ingrown toe nail for over 32 years and honestly hurts to walk sometimes. I've been trying to find the right doctor to help and I'm so lucky to have come across Dr. Lilker. Didn't wait more than 5 minutes to see me. Was professional in his explanations and was able to remove the ingrown without any pain. I highly recommend Dr. Lilker and have already recommended him to all of my friends! Thank you for curing me! I highly recommend anyone with podiatrist needs to visit him.
