Dr. Richard Sawicki is your family foot care specialist serving the Niagara Falls & Lockport, NY areas. Our practice offers treatment and foot surgery for a variety of foot conditions and diseases. Some of our patients have suffered injuries due to sports or everyday incidents that have caused pain in their feet or toes. Medical conditions such as diabetic foot problems, ingrown toenails, heel spurs, foot warts, and plantar fasciitis are among our most commonly treated conditions.
Since so many of us spend a great deal of time using our feet, either for exercise, play or daily activities, it is extremely important to take care of our feet should anything happen. The human foot is a complex structure. It contains 26 bones- plus muscles, ligaments, nerves, and blood vessels- and is designed for balance and mobility. The 52 bones in the feet make up 1/4 of the bones in the human body.
As an experienced and trusted podiatrist, Dr. Richard Sawicki can diagnose and treat disorders, diseases, fractures, and injuries of the foot through foot surgery and other medical procedures. Staying active and getting on your feet more often can help to increase energy and enhance health and wellness in our patients. It is our podiatrist's goal to make sure patients can be comfortable enough to get up and walk or run without discomfort. We want to keep you on your feet and happily active throughout your walk-through life.

We can help identify your condition and work to resolve the problem so you can return to your normal activities.
