I saw Dr. Leviant for a number of years before moving to Southern California. He had excellent advice about inserts and shoe choices to minimize various chronic issues, and took good care of my feet each time I saw him. Its hard to imagine a podiatric emergency, but, when just such a need arose, Dr. Leviant saw me on an hour or so of notice — upon which occasion he removed a toenail that I had severely damaged on a beach days earlier. He did so with a minimum of mess and pain, in fact it he relieved the pain and swelling that the damaged nail was causing. The nail bed healed quickly and without incident. I only hope I can find as caring and capable a doctor in our new home.
