Livingston Foot Care Specialists

LFCS has been located in the same office in North Bellmore for the past 44 years; the original building has seen several renovations over that time. I first met Dr. Leon Livingston in 1988 when I accepted the position of Chief Executive Officer at Massapequa general Hospital; at that time, Dr. Livingston was the chairman of the Department of podiatry, a position that he was elected to by the other doctors on the medical staff. He was well respected by the hospital staff and held in the highest esteem by his colleagues. I was immediately impressed by his kind and gentle demeanor and his skillful manner when he was treating patients. He was always willing to offer his advice and assistance to the staff and helped develop policies and procedures to improve the services offered by the Department of Podiatry. In 1999, Dr. Leon’s son, Dr. Douglas, completed his surgical training and also joined the hospital staff. Much like his dad, Dr. Doug was quickly embraced by the staff and treated patients with skill and compassion. Unfortunately, the hospital closed in 2000 but my relationship with Dr. Leon and Dr. Doug that began in 1988 has lasted over 20 years and has evolved into a personal friendship that will last forever. During this time I also became a patient of Livingston Foot Care and have recommended my family and friends and have never had anything but positive feedback and compliments about the care they received. My mother, who is 88, recently sprained her foot; I called the office and was given an appointment that same day. As always, when we arrived we were greeted by the very professional office staff and after a brief wait, were escorted into a treatment room. It wasn’t long before Dr. Doug arrived and examined my mom, very gently; he explained what happened when she twisted her foot and explained exactly what he was going to do. After wrapping her foot and giving her a brace to wear for support, he asked if she had any questions; with that, my mom asked him if he would “cut her nails.” Dr. Doug looke more

I am writing to you, as a patient of Livingston Foot Care Specialists on Newbridge Road, North Bellmore, NY. The care and concern of the entire staff is outstanding and courteous to all that they came in contact with each day. They are all so helpful and friendly to everyone. Even those who take the phone calls are so pleasant and very helpful in any way that they can. Recently I started the MicroVas therapy for non diabetic peripheral neuropathy. I can not believe the changes in my feet and legs. With the severe pain in my legs and feet I could hardly walk around. My right leg was the one that was the worst. With the pain, pins and needles and burning sensation of my feet. I was willing to try anything. I have been to many doctors in the past and still there was no relief. The MicroVas therapy has been a blessing in my life. Now I am able to do more walking outside and inside. I am able to walk without pain and discomfort which to me is surely a miracle in my life. The doctors are extremely conservative and willing to answer all of your questions and put your mind at ease. At this office you are treated like a human being and an individual. The quality of care is unique and excellent. I would like to thank Dr. Leon Livingston, Dr. Douglas Livingston, Dr. Joel Kelly and Dr. Joseph Alencherry for giving me my “happy feet”. I am most grateful to everyone for all their help, care and understanding. more

I have nothing but nice things to say after being cared for by Dr. Doug and the staff at Livingston Foot Care. I signed in, waited 10 minutes to be called and was so pleased to receive excellent treatment. I was finished in 30 minutes and am looking forward to my next appointment. I will also recommend this practice to my family and friends. PS: all of the other patients in the waiting room seemed to be equally pleased. more

I had a horrible experience at this doctors office. They made me wait almost an hour in the room and when I complained, Dr. Michael Livingston came into the room with his mouth full of food and just said "We're very busy today". Not even an apology. Meanwhile, he was in the other room eating his lunch. He was very rude and I will never go back. more

When I found myself with aching feet, I decided I needed to see a specialist. With a recommendation from a friend, I decided I would go to Livingston Foot Care Specialists. I made an appointment and had my feet checked out. The doctor is really great. Very caring and attentive. The office staff is also great. Highly recommended. more
