Dr. Petkov has 12 years of experience treating residents of New Jersey for a wide variety of foot and ankle issues.

 

Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Velimir Petkov discuss the following:

1. What basic foot care tips can you offer our listeners?
2. Who should be concerned with the health of their feet?
3. What are some bothersome signs to look out for?
4. When should a person see a podiatrist?
5. Your practice's motto is "advanced foot and ankle care." Can you tell me a little bit more about the advanced technologies that are being used in your office?

Tip: Many people turn to a podiatrist thinking that they have a foot condition. In a large percentage of cases, it turns out to be in relation to some other systemic disease. If you notice anything odd with your feet, experience pain or discomfort, don't wait too long before visiting an experienced podiatrist. The American Podiatric Medical Association's website is an excellent source of finding one in your area.

Under the direction of expert podiatrist Velimir Petkov, DPM, the team at Premier Podiatry offers cutting-edge solutions for a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions. This state-of-the-art Clifton, New Jersey podiatry practice is conveniently located on Clifton Avenue.

Dr. Petkov has an extensive background in innovative treatments, which began with the best training. He graduated from Chicago's top podiatry program, the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science. He then finished his residency at the Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in New York, focusing on foot surgery, sports medicine, diabetic wound care, and limb salvage. Dr. Petkov has 10 years of post-surgical experience treating thousands of New Jersey residents.

Dr. Petkov is experienced in some of the most advanced minimally invasive procedures for plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.
