Dr. Matthew Safapour, DPM, an accomplished, seasoned, board-certified (ABMSP) podiatric surgeon with more than 20 years of experience, is dedicated to helping patients strengthen the crucial foot/ankle foundation and maintain pain-free, healthy lives. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree from the State University of New York and a master degree from Long Island University, Dr. Safapour attended podiatric medical school at CCPM, an affiliate of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He completed his internship and residency at CCPM, USC/LA County Medical Center and pursued a fellowship in biomechanics. The doctor has been in private practice since 1997, performed thousands of foot surgeries, and is currently an attending podiatric physician for a major IPA/HMO organization. Dr. Safapour helps resolve such painful issues as bunions, caused by excess bone growth and joint inflammation, and hammertoes, produced by a muscle imbalance surrounding the joints. He also treats diabetic foot ulcers and diabetic neuropathy, which occurs when metabolic and neurovascular factors result in nerve damage and poor circulation. This often causes loss of feeling or the sensation of pins and needles or sharp pain in the toes, feet, and legs, allowing infections in the region to go unnoticed. Treating these issues and more during their early stages helps ensure successful outcomes. Dr. Safapour and his staff offer excellent medical and surgical options for overcoming foot pain and other podiatric issues in a caring, healing environment.
