Podiatrist Serving Chevy Chase, MD

Chevy Chase is a walking community. The tree-lined blocks off Connecticut Avenue, the loop around Chevy Chase Circle, the short stroll to the shops at Friendship Heights — this is a place where people run errands and see friends on foot, and where many households have lived for decades. It is one of the older, longer-settled corners of Montgomery County, and feet that have logged that many miles earn a particular set of complaints.

Much of what comes in from Chevy Chase is the slow, structural kind of foot problem rather than the sudden injury: bunions and hammertoes that have gradually reshaped a foot, arthritis that stiffens a big-toe joint, the flare of gout that wakes someone at night. These are conditions that reward an unhurried evaluation and a plan built around staying comfortable on foot — which is exactly how Dr. Feldman approaches them.
