Wart Assessment
Dr. Lazarus examines the lesion to confirm it is a plantar wart and reviews its size, depth, location, and prior treatment history before recommending Swift.
A clear diagnosis before treatment begins
Swift is a device that delivers controlled microwave energy directly into wart tissue in short bursts during an in-office visit, offering an alternative to freezing, cutting, or acid-based treatments. The energy is directed at the wart tissue itself rather than the surrounding healthy skin, which is why many patients tolerate the brief application well. Dr. Lazarus may recommend Swift as part of a plantar wart treatment plan when it fits the size, location, and history of the lesion, sometimes alongside Class IV laser or other plantar wart care. Plantar warts can be stubborn, especially when they sit in a weight-bearing area of the sole, so having more than one treatment option available matters.
The right treatment starts with understanding what is driving your symptoms. Dr. Lazarus uses advanced diagnostics and podiatric expertise to decide whether this option makes sense for your foot, ankle, or nerve condition.
This treatment is selected when the underlying mechanics, tissue damage, nerve function, or nail condition call for a more precise approach than generic care.

treats the wart without a blade, freezing agent, or topical acid
performed during a routine office visit with minimal preparation
each application is typically brief, lasting only seconds per wart treated

Dr. Lazarus focuses on matching advanced treatment technology to the actual cause of your problem, then combining therapies when that creates a better outcome.
