Quick! Your house is on fire, who do you call? What if you find your spouse unconscious, or witness a car accident? Children across America are taught how to call the emergency number 911 during an emergency. But did you know there are multiple kinds of emergencies? You wouldn’t call for the fire department if you saw a bank robbery. A police officer isn’t the best person to call if someone is drowning. Various professionals are best equipped (both by training and resources) to help in specific emergencies that require their expertise.
What about your feet? Sure you can go to the Emergency Room or call 911 for an ambulance in a medical emergency. But for emergency foot care that is not life-threatening, a Brooklyn podiatrist is your best option. Best Foot Doctor NY reserves same-day appointments specifically for patients needing emergency attention. We also offer flexible appointments throughout the week and on Saturdays.
Hours:
Monday-Friday 9:00 AM- 6:30 PM
Saturday 9:00 AM- 2:00 PM
With multiple locations in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, finding a podiatrist for your emergency foot care needs has never been easier.
