Chelsea Foot & Ankle
The Full-Service,
Boutique Podiatry Practice
With the Human Touch in New York City
When Dr. Ciment opened the practice in 2004, he wanted to do things differently.
“When the practice opened in 2004, we knew we wanted to do things differently. Not only would our podiatry procedures be advanced, safe, and effective, but our interaction with our patients would be built on connection and caring — more intimate, individualized, and down-to-earth.”

About UsThe Whole Body Approach
To Podiatric Medicine
Although we are foot and ankle specialists, we believe it is essential to understand our patients’ lifestyles, medical challenges, and overall health and fitness goals. The more we know about our patients, the better we can care for them. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive diagnosis and exceptional care through a range of personalized treatment options tailored to you and your unique podiatric needs. Whatever your needs, we can address your foot and ankle conditions with compassionate care and expert guidance.
We do it all, but do not believe
in one-size-fits-all podiatric medicine.
We treat the entire spectrum of foot and ankle conditions, podiatric medicine, and minimally invasive podiatric surgery. We specialize in common skin and nail disorders, such as ingrown toenails and plantar warts; trauma and sports injuries, such as ankle sprains and joint issues; podiatric diabetic care; and reconstructive ankle and foot surgery. Using conservative measures whenever possible, we have the expertise and advanced techniques to get you back on your feet.

Our Patients Love Us
“Dr. Ciment is absolutely amazing! He is very welcoming and does an incredible job assessing and explaining his prognosis. My physical therapist was also impressed with his communication to her.”

No waiting.
No rushing.
No short-cuts.
Time is essential to achieving extraordinary care. Each foot doctor here takes careful consideration when discussing your concerns, as we understand how debilitating experiencing foot pain can be. It’s not uncommon for our consultations to last 45 minutes or more. We schedule fewer appointments per day, so there is no rushing or shortchanging our patients. This gives us time to understand your concerns and create an individualized treatment plan to address your foot pain. We also want to effectively explain procedures so you understand your treatment—the definition of compassionate, personalized care.
“When you come to Chelsea Foot and Ankle, our doctors take care of you from start to finish. We do everything ourselves.”
