Shalvi Prasad, DPM

I believe the foundation of good patient care is listening. Every patient comes to me with a different story, lifestyle, and set of goals, and I want to understand what matters most to them. Whether that means returning to a favorite sport, getting back to work, spending time with family, or simply being able to walk comfortably, my goal is to create a treatment plan that is individualized to their needs.I believe in taking the time to make sure patients understand their diagnosis and treatment options and feel comfortable being an active part of their care. I offer a full spectrum of treatment, from conservative care and shoe gear or activity modifications to injections and surgical treatment. When surgery is needed, my goal is to help patients feel informed and supported throughout the process.I want my patients to feel heard, understood, and confident in their care-and to help them get back to doing the things they love. Sometimes that means an athlete returning to their sport, …someone getting back to their favorite form of exercise, or simply a patient being able to walk, work, or spend time with their family without the pain that was holding them back. Seeing that transformation-and knowing that the patient felt heard and supported along the way-is what makes caring for patients so meaningful to me.Special Clinical InterestsSports medicine, trauma, bunions, hammer toes, plantar fasciitis, diabetic preventative medicine, diabetic wound care, ankle sprains, and tendon injuries.
