The Experts Behind Your Care
Dr. Miguel Cunha started Gotham Footcare to bridge the gap between orthopedic function and excellent aesthetic outcomes. Today, our practice relies on the collective expertise of our entire medical team. While Dr. Cunha is known for creating hidden, microscopic marks during surgery, he has built a roster of specialized foot doctors who all share the same standard for surgical precision.
We operate as a unified center of clinical excellence. Every podiatrist on our team is trained in the same gentle, small-incision protocols. We discuss complex foot and ankle conditions collaboratively to deliver an accurate diagnosis and a reliable plan for healing.
Our physicians represent the top tier of podiatric surgery. Every provider holds the DPM degree and has completed a rigorous surgical residency within the New York network. Many maintain close academic ties to the New York College of Podiatric Medicine and institutions like York College. Crucially, our surgeons are board-certified by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, ensuring your care meets the highest standards of the profession.
Shining a Light on Good Footcare
Gotham Footcare is frequently featured in print, television, and digital media to discuss new solutions for foot problems. These appearances are part of our larger goal to improve public education around podiatry and show patients what is possible with modern medical care.
Minimally Invasive Comes First
We threw away the old model of foot care that forced patients to stay in bed for weeks. Our team values your time and focuses on tissue preservation. By using real-time live X-rays (fluoroscopy) and small instruments, we fix common problems through openings that are only a few millimeters wide.
For the patient, this small-incision method changes the entire recovery. It leads to far less swelling, lighter pain, and scars that are almost impossible to see. For many procedures, you can even walk in a special boot on the exact same day. When you commute into the city, being able to move is essential. Our treatment options are designed to fit you back into the footwear you love without the old discomfort. We provide comprehensive care that respects your busy schedule.
Perfectly Aligned
The front of your foot bears the brunt of your weight every time you take a step. Whether it’s a shifting joint causing a bunion, a curled toe from a hammertoe, or a pinched nerve like Morton’s neuroma, these problems directly alter how your shoes fit, how pressure spreads across your foot, and how you navigate your daily walk.
Our medical team looks closely at your natural mechanics and uses detailed diagnostic imaging to plan corrections that protect your forefeet. We rely on small-incision techniques whenever possible to carefully realign the bones and ease internal nerve friction without causing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding area. For patients traveling from Jersey City for specialized bunion surgery or advanced forefoot care, our focus remains clear: restore your foot's natural function and alignment so you can move comfortably.
Aesthetic Concerns Addressed
Gotham Footcare offers a complete suite of plastic-surgery-inspired treatments designed to clean up and refresh the look of your feet. We apply the same careful methods used in plastic surgery to the lower extremities. Place your feet in the hands of our cosmetic podiatrists for a look you can't wait to show off.
If visible foot problems like thick nails or large bone bumps make you hide your feet in public, we have the specialized skills to treat them. Our surgeons are familiar with all 44 different ways to perform bunion surgery and select the specific approach that fits you.
We do not believe in using templates. Every foot has a unique architecture, and every regional commuter has a specific deadline.
Your treatment plan begins with a close look at how you move and live. If you are dealing with a severe sports injury or an active flare of heel pain, our clinic offers a strategy built for your body. These are the main foot and ankle conditions we treat most often:
A bunion is a progressive structural dislocation of the big toe joint, which creates a prominent bony bump on the side of the foot. Old-style surgeries required long cuts and weeks of complete bedrest. Our team uses minimally invasive bunion surgery, making tiny cuts to carefully align the bone and smooth out the bump through hidden openings. This protects the local tissue and speeds up your recovery. Most patients leave the office walking in a supportive surgical boot immediately.
When a toe curls up out of line, it creates friction points that develop into deep, painful corns. Hammertoes are mechanical faults that also create a cosmetic burden. We perform precise muscle releases to flatten the toe. Our surgeons place the tiny marks inside the natural lines of your skin, ensuring the surgical correction remains nearly invisible.
Heel pain dominates our appointment calendar, and it is most often caused by plantar fasciitis. We avoid relying on cortisone injections alone. Instead, we use advanced tools like acoustic shockwave therapy (EPAT) and custom orthotics to help the body physically repair the damaged tissue. We also analyze your walk to make custom orthotics that offload mechanical stress, solving the plantar fasciitis heel pain at its root.
Your Achilles tendon is the main engine of your stride. From a long-term ache caused by running to a sudden tear, our approach to sports medicine focuses on keeping you active. We use non-invasive shockwave tools to boost local blood flow and support natural healing. If a repair is needed, our surgeons use small-incision methods that fix the tendon securely with minimal skin trauma, helping you return to your fitness routine safely.
Chronic pain and a wobbly feeling are common ankle concerns for active people. From reconstructing loose ligaments to cleaning out the ankle joint with tiny cameras, our board-certified surgeons make your foot steady again. We utilize advanced diagnostic imaging to fix the deep damage, helping to reduce the long-term risk of arthritis.
Morton's neuroma is a painful thickening of the nerve tissue that runs between your third and fourth toes. It causes a sharp burning sensation, numbness, or the feeling that you are stepping on a pebble inside your shoe. We begin with an image-guided diagnosis and focus on targeted pressure offloading, custom shoe inserts, or small-incision treatments to calm the irritated nerve and restore comfortable forefoot function.
Ahead of the Game
Strong, healthy feet can make the difference between a win and a loss. At our surgical center, our sports specialists have years of experience performing the delicate procedures needed to get an athlete back on the field or court quickly. If you want to recover faster from an injury or stay healthy during a grueling season, our doctors have the tools to keep your foot care ahead of the game.
Access from Jersey City
We positioned our Manhattan clinics to be incredibly accessible for North Jersey commuters. Getting expert care shouldn't require a complicated trip across the state. With fully equipped offices located right near major transit lines, including our downtown office near the World Trade Center PATH and our midtown suite near Grand Central, we handle everything in one place.
Whether you travel via the PATH train or hop on the ferry, our offices provide a seamless loop for your day. We handle digital X-rays, 3D scanning, and treatments on-site, respecting the fast pace of the metropolitan area.
The Power To Do More
Gotham Footcare is dedicated to the long-term well-being of our patients. We use advanced diagnostic and preventative methods while giving every person the individual attention they deserve.
Our private TriBeCa Surgical Center is the result of that effort. This on-site facility gives our doctors the convenience of using specialized tools and advanced technology whenever they need them. We do not believe in using a single standard plan. Instead, we look at your personal goals and build an effective, custom treatment plan that delivers the best possible outcome for you.
Human-Centric Logistics
Navigating medical care shouldn't be more stressful than the condition itself. We make the process simple. Gotham Footcare accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicare, to help you maximize your benefits.
Our dedicated coordinators will check and verify your major insurance plans before your visit so you know your coverage upfront. We believe in total financial transparency. You will never be surprised by an unexpected bill from us. We treat you as an equal partner in your own health.
