Botox is one of the botulinum toxins I administer to treat wrinkles of the brow, forehead and eyes (crows feet). I also utilize Xeomin and Dysport which are similar botulinum toxins. Botulinum toxin is a well-tolerated, safe procedure that will provide a refreshed look to your face. It is one of the best anti-aging treatments available.

During your appointment, I will provide education describing how Botox works and what you might expect for outcomes. I will also review risks and benefits. It is important to assess your face and administer the dose and location which is best for you. It is a very customized treatment. I include you in the process as I need to know what you desire. I ask you to return for a 2 week follow up to evaluate the treatment outcome and provide any additional units so that your look is perfect.

I offer you my expertise and my time. You will not feel rushed. My office is in a lovely area of Back Bay and it is very discreet. I am available to answer your calls. You are my focus.

Dear patients,

As you may know by now, the Coronavirus disease, otherwise known as COVID-19, has become a rapidly evolving concern for people across this country and abroad.

We want to assure you that our practice is taking precautionary measures to help maintain the safety and cleanliness of our office. To best help prevent the spread of this disease, we urge you to please contact our office prior to any appointments if you believe you are exhibiting symptoms.

Common symptoms of this virus may include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. This precautionary step is especially important for elderly, diabetic, and pediatric patients, as they seem to be more susceptible to the disease.

Additionally, we advise that you regularly wash your hands, use hand sanitizer, and avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Avoiding close contact with people who are sick, staying home if you believe you’re getting ill, covering your coughs and sneezes, and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces may also help in the prevention of the Coronavirus.

Our practice is dedicated to providing a safe, and healthy space for our patients, which is why we must all work together as we learn more about this disease. Please feel free to contact our office, and we wish you well.

Sincerely,
The Boston Common Podiatry team

A podiatrist, or Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), is a professional who is trained in the treatment of injuries or issues concerning a person's feet, ankles, or areas of the lower leg. When it comes to treatments, podiatrists have the ability to reset broken bones, prescribe drugs, request lab tests or x-rays, as well as perform surgery.

To become a podiatrist, one must complete 4 years of medical school, as well as 3 years of a residency where they gain real world experience working at a hospital. After those two requirements are completed, some choose to gain further certifications by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM) in areas such as surgery of the foot and ankle.

A podiatrist may be of help to you if you are experiencing pain or discomfort due to conditions such as hammertoes, bunions, arthritis, heel pain, ingrown toenails, corns, calluses, fungal nails, flat feet, plantar warts, or athlete’s foot, to name a few. They can also be useful if you are curious about maintaining general care for your feet, picking the correct shoe size, obtaining footwear inserts or orthotics, as well as suggesting stretches or exercises to help strengthen your feet.

If you’re experiencing any problems involving your feet, ankles, or lower leg areas, it is highly recommended that you consult with a podiatrist near you for a proper diagnosis and treatment regime.
