What Manhattan Podiatry Associates does

Manhattan Podiatry Associates, PC is a private podiatric medical practice founded in 1981 by Dr. Steven P. Abramow, operating two office locations in Midtown (133 East 54th Street) and Downtown (65 Broadway) Manhattan. The practice employs four board-certified podiatrists who collectively provide comprehensive foot and ankle care for children, adults, and seniors, including diagnosis, conservative treatment, surgical intervention, and custom orthotics. Annual surgical volume includes approximately 500 bunionectomies and over 1,000 hammertoe repairs, with cumulative lifetime volume of roughly 10,000 bunionectomies and 20,000+ hammertoe repairs over 35 years.

The practice's service portfolio spans 20+ clinical service lines including ankle pain treatment, heel pain/plantar fasciitis care, bunion and hammertoe surgery, gout, arthritis, neuroma, ingrown toenail surgery, plantar warts, and pediatric podiatry. Diagnostic capabilities include an in-office Esaote O-Scan open extremity MRI, ultrasonography, fluoroscopy, and computerized gait analysis. Therapeutic technologies include MLS Laser Therapy (FDA-cleared, dual-wavelength photobiomodulation), Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy via the Aurix XL system, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) using Ossa Tron or Epos Ultra devices, Patholase laser for fungal toenails, and Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL) for warts. The practice's 133 East 54th Street facility operates as East Side Podiatric Surgical Suite, P.C., a JCAHO-accredited outpatient office-based surgical center—the first such podiatric designation in NYC utilizing intravenous anesthesia—and is registered by New York State.

The business model is direct-to-consumer healthcare services billed through insurance, with the practice accepting most major managed care plans including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Empire Plan, Horizon BCBS, Medicare, Oscar, Oxford Health Plans, and United Healthcare, but excluding Medicaid state-funded plans and Marketplace plans. Cosmetic procedures such as laser toenail fungus treatment are typically not covered by insurance and represent a cash-pay revenue stream. The practice maintains a full-time insurance coordinator, supports online and phone booking, and distributes through direct office visits at both locations. Marketing channels include website/blog content, patient reviews across Yelp, Google+, RateMDs, and ZocDoc, organic SEO, and social media sharing. The practice is privately held by its partner physicians with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or institutional investment.
