NEW SERVICES
NEW SERVICES:
PODIATRY AND LYMPHEDEMA THERAPY
WE ARE pleased to welcome Dr. Costantinos Sugarman
and Terry Walsh-Oakley who are now providing their
services from our location at 300 Kenmount Road.
Dr. Costantinos Sugarman, D.P.M,
has over 22 years of experience
helping people alleviate their foot
pain and addressing all foot care
needs. Providing podiatric treatment
to clients in the Newfoundland area,
he has built on his degree and clinical
training in podiatry, incorporating
current best practices in the treatment of foot problems.
A Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) is similar to a dentist
in that we are primary care providers; you don’t require
a referral to visit us and we can diagnose and treat your
feet or refer you to other specialists when necessary.
Foot health is often neglected until discomfort becomes acute;
we encourage you to become more aware and more proactive
in preserving the health of your feet. If you have been diagnosed
with diabetes, you should make examinations by a podiatrist a
regular part of your wellness routine so that we can assess any
injuries or conditions that might cause serious infections. We also
educate diabetic patients on best practices for at-home foot care.
