Dr. Perlstein has added the Circulator Boot™ as a unique treatment for diabetic foot disease. The Boot increases the blood circulation to the toes which helps Dr. Perlstein to combat infection and to heal wounds.

Dr. Perlstein focuses on the unique foot problems of the diabetic patient. He has recognized that diabetes in New York is a major problem which robs many New Yorkers of their mobility; their toes, feet, legs and eventually even their lives. Diabetic foot disease is the number one reason for diabetic patients to be admitted to hospitals and many people (too many for Dr. Perlstein) wind up with an amputation due to unhealed diabetic foot wounds (85,000 a year nationally). His specialized care of the diabetic includes a full array of orthotics, braces and diabetic footwear.
