Dr. Weinfeld's interests include treatment of traumatic injuries, developmental disorders, heel pain, rheumatoid foot deformities, Morton's neuroma and bunion deformities. He is one of few surgeons performing corrective surgery in diabetic feet and treating wound problems. This includes the use of minimally invasive techniques, such as arthroscopy, which minimize pain, scarring and the need for a general anesthetic.
