Heel Pain and Kids<\/h4>\n

Gary Evans, DPM, James Korponay, DPM, and Caren Schumer, DPM, your podiatrists in New York and Whitestone, want to emphasize the importance of not ignoring your child\u2019s complaints about pain in their feet.

As your New York and Whitestone podiatrists, we are available to help diagnose your child\u2019s ailments, while also providing the best treatments possible to keep your children active.<\/p>\n
