Dr. Lazarus treats a wide range of foot, ankle, and nerve concerns. Neuropathy is a particular focus of his practice.
Numbness, tingling, or burning in the feet can be signs the nerves need attention. Neuropathy is a particular focus for Dr. Lazarus, and he offers drug-free, non-surgical neuropathy care, including neoGEN electric cell signaling therapy, aimed at supporting nerve function and everyday comfort. He explains what may be contributing to your symptoms and what a conservative care plan can look like before you decide on next steps.
Heel pain and plantar fasciitis are among the most common reasons Valley patients schedule a visit. Dr. Lazarus reviews your gait, footwear, and symptoms before recommending a conservative treatment plan, which may include stretching guidance, custom orthotics, or Class IV laser therapy depending on what is driving your pain.
From fungal nails to ingrown toenails and nails needing reconstruction after injury or infection, Dr. Lazarus offers conservative nail care for patients of all ages. For selected ingrown, curved, or involuted nails, he may recommend Onyfix, a non-surgical composite brace system that guides the nail as it grows rather than removing it.
Painful or stubborn plantar warts are another common reason patients from Ansonia and Derby schedule an evaluation. Dr. Lazarus may recommend Swift microwave wart treatment, Class IV laser, or another approach based on your specific wart.
