What Gotham Footcare does

Gotham Footcare is a Manhattan-based private podiatry practice founded in 2012 by Dr. Miguel Cunha, DPM, operating under the legal entity Gotham Podiatry PC. The practice delivers medical and surgical foot and ankle care across two Manhattan locations (Downtown at 233 Broadway and Midtown at 501 5th Avenue), supported by an in-office TriBeCa Podiatry Surgical Suite equipped with IV sedation and monitored anesthesia care. Its clinical team comprises 9 providers, including 8 DPMs and a physical therapist, many of whom are alumni of the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and board-certified or qualified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine.

The practice's core technical differentiator is a minimally invasive surgical philosophy that uses fluoroscopy and microsurgical instrumentation to perform bunion corrections, hammertoe repairs, reconstructive foot surgeries, and tendon repairs through few-millimeter incisions, with many patients leaving the office walking in a surgical boot. The technology stack also includes FDA-cleared devices and procedures such as SWIFT microwave immunotherapy for plantar warts, ClearANail controlled micro-penetration for nail fungus, EPAT shockwave therapy, cryosurgery for Morton's neuroma, Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction, 3D laser-scanned custom orthotics, Alpha-2 Macroglobulin regenerative injections, and on-site O-Scan MRI and X-ray imaging.

Gotham Footcare generates revenue from fee-for-service professional and surgical care, reimbursed through a broad mix of insurance plans (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare, 1199SEIU, and others), self-pay, and patient financing. The practice serves primarily Manhattan residents and commuters across Midtown, Downtown, TriBeCa, Financial District, SoHo, and the Upper East Side, with secondary reach into Westchester County. Patient acquisition is driven by insurance network participation, search/SEO, social media (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), a blog and email newsletter, press coverage in New York Magazine, Bloomberg, Men's Health, and Health Magazine, a Run Club community event, and patient referrals. The practice holds 4.9-star ratings across 2,700+ patient reviews on Google, Facebook, Zocdoc, Health Grades, and Vitals, and has been consecutively recognized on New York Magazine's Top Podiatrist list (2018-2025) and Three Best Rated's Top 3 Podiatrists in New York (2019-2026).
