About Dr. Elaine Alicakos

I have been in practice for over 30 years in Bergen County, NJ. For many years, I focused on podiatric surgery and pathology of the foot. Today, I concentrate on the prevention of foot pathology. I have always had a love for pediatrics and believe that if I can catch foot malalignment early, by the time children reach their teenage years, we can avoid many of the problems their parents have faced. My pediatric patients start at 2 years of age and continue through adulthood at 18. Starting early with podiatric care can support a child's growth and performance. Athletes often experience running-related injuries such as shin splints, tendinitis, strains, and sprains, which I have been treating for many years. Many of these injuries could have been prevented with early examination during childhood. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I also deeply value my geriatric patients, an ever-growing population that requires my utmost care. I focus on diabetic foot care, ingrown toenails, plantar warts, Athlete's foot, fungal toenails, and a variety of other podiatric conditions. I am a firm believer in the benefits of orthotics and cast my patients using plaster of Paris. Though it may be messy and time-consuming, this method allows me to create the best possible device for my patients. I earned my Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Temple University and hold a Bachelor's degree from Villanova University.
