Livingston Foot Care Specialists

It is unusual for a medical practice to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary with the original doctor still treating members of the community. Livingston Foot Care Specialists at 1685 Newbridge Road, North Bellmore is that special practice. Dr. Leon Livingston started Livingston Foot Care specialists on June 3, 1965. The office had one treatment room directly across the street from the practice’s present location on Newbridge Road in North Bellmore. From that humble beginning, the office was expanded in 1969 when 1685 Newbridge Road was converted to a home office combination. Dr. Livingston thought he would never require anything more than the two treatment office that was built adjacent to his home. All of that changed in 1999 when Dr. Douglas Livingston joined his father at Livingston Foot Care Specialists.

Today the building houses nine treatment rooms with five associate podiatrists joining the father-son team. It is not unusual for them to see the third generation in a family and Livingston Foot Care Specialists has become a landmark in the community. The patients think of themselves as part of the professional family and know they receive the best quality foot care in a caring environment.

Today, led by Dr. Douglas Livingston and Dr. Leon Livingston, Livingston Foot Care Specialists renders state-of-the- art care utilizing the most advanced technological procedures to treat all foot conditions from the simple corn to total reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. Drs. Brandon Naing, Alison Graziano, Martha Aponte, Eugene Manno and Edward D’Amico are all proud to continue the traditions established by Dr. Leon Livingston fifty years ago. Livingston Foot Care has evolved into a practice that employs not only seven doctors but a staff of twenty nine to help facilitate quality care. The men and women working there all have the philosophy that quality care comes with caring.

For the past fifty years Dr. Leon Livingston has been an example to new members of the podiatric community. He was instrumental in developing the Department of Podiatry at Massapequa General Hospital where he was Chairman of the Department of Podiatry for thirty years. He also served for ten years as a member of the New York State Board for Podiatry. Now Dr. Douglas Livingston continues that tradition helping to train podiatric residents in all phases of advanced surgical procedures at the hospital.

Dr. Leon continues to dedicate himself to his family and to the care of his patients. He states he is very proud of his son, Douglas, who has taken Livingston Foot Care Specialists to a higher level of patient care and who is extremely respected by the medical community and his patients.
