About Dr. Joseph Larsen
Joseph Larsen, DPM, FACFAS, has been in practice for 24 years, specializing in all aspects of foot and ankle care, including both conservative and surgical treatments for conditions such as bunions, painful toes, neuromas, heel pain, tendon injuries, flat feet, and sports injuries. He also has expertise in wound care, managing diabetic wounds, vascular wounds, burns, and traumatic wounds. Dr. Larsen earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and completed a fellowship at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He chose podiatry because these specialists treat all aspects of foot and ankle conditions and help patients get back on their feet and return to their routines. Dr. Larsen values the satisfaction he provides his patients through quality foot and ankle care. His approach to patient care involves listening carefully to the patient’s complaints, lifestyle, and expectations, then formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan to help them recover. When Dr. Larsen was in college playing basketball, he suffered a severe ankle injury treated by a podiatrist who helped him return to the court. He holds the same expectation for his patients.
