Well known as the podiatric expert in New York, Dr. Rimawi focuses on foot and ankle deformities and sports-related injuries.

Educational Background
Your foot doctor expertise began with the best training. Dr. Rimawi earned his doctorate from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, where he made his mark. Not only did he graduate above the 90th percentile of his class and serve as class president for four years, but he was also recognized with the Student Service Award. That award goes to the student voted by the graduating class as making the biggest impact on the field of podiatry. Beyond his peers’ recognition, Dr. Rimawi was inducted into the Pi Delta Honor Society for his achievements in his research and his studies.
Advanced Training
With those accolades to his name, Dr. Rimawi continued on to a three-year reconstructive Foot and Ankle surgery residency at DeKalb Medical Center and Jefferson Health. His colleagues and the hospital staff at the latter named him the Podiatric Resident of the Year. Dr. Rimawi is Board Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and is a member of the New York State Podiatric Medical Association. Dr. Rimawi is also a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and the American Podiatric Medical Association.
Our NYC podiatrist place great importance on the aesthetic result of their surgical procedures, as well as their functional outcome. Recent advances have enabled new “no scar” surgical procedures like minimally invasive bunion surgery and hammer toe surgery which provide comparable and often superior results than traditional surgical methods. Your Manhattan foot doctor offers all the latest techniques and treatments. All symptoms, potential procedural/surgical options should always be discussed with your podiatrist after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Fear of scarring frightens many people away from surgeries that would greatly help them. We are sympathetic to these fears and will clearly explain our minimally invasive options and the cosmetic outcomes you should expect. Traditionally, both bunion and hammer toes surgery would result in a large visible scare. However, with our minimally invasive foot surgery techniques, you can correct your foot deformities with minimal to no visible scarring. All questions about this procedure will be answered during your consultation with a foot doctor.
The Achilles tendon is prone to injury and pain due to the enormous demand the body places on it during physical activity and certain anatomical factors that leave it less able to repair itself after injury. Most cases of Achilles pain can be treated through physical therapy and orthotics but when the tendon becomes torn, ruptured or has developed significant scar tissue then Achilles Tendon Surgery becomes an option to discuss with your doctor.
A Cheilectomy is a procedure to surgically remove painful bone spurs. Bone spurs can be the result of arthritis or the pulling of a tendon or ligament causing the reactive bone to form. Bone spurs can sometimes cause painful lesions on your skin which can be especially irritating when wearing certain types of shoes. Less commonly, a bone spur can result after a fracture from the bone healing in a displaced position. The big-toe joint is the most common location a cheilectomy is done and it is generally performed to increase motion at that joint or to remove a painful bony prominence and/or bunion.
All symptoms should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by your podiatrist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any underlying serious condition.
Bunions, hammertoes, and corns are the three most common foot deformities being treated by cosmetic foot surgery. Our podiatrists treat these deformities using Minimally-Invasive surgical techniques so the patient is left with minimal to no scarring. Many people are ashamed of their feet and having nice straight toes without corns can help your confidence and quality of life. All symptoms should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by your podiatrist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any underlying serious condition
A hammer toe is a foot deformity where the toe becomes bent at the joint. It often causes pain and is associated with corns forming over the toe. Not only are hammer toes painful, but they also cause a lot of people embarrassment. Conservative treatments include stretching, orthotics, padding, and strapping of the toes. If you have tried these conservative treatments without relief of symptoms, surgically straightening the toes may be a good option for you. Our doctors at Manhattan Foot Specialists perform Minimally-invasive (hidden-incision) hammer toe surgery. All symptoms should always be evaluated with a thorough consultation and examination by your podiatrist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to exclude any underlying serious condition.
Ingrown toenails are very common in pediatric and adult patients. An ingrown nail occurs when the corner of a nail grows into the skin causing pain, redness and often even infection in the surrounding skin. Ingrown toenails should be treated in the office of your foot doctor NYC to avoid further complications.If this is a chronic recurring issue, your foot doctor in NYC has a number of treatment options to permanently prevent your ingrown nail from returning.
All symptoms, potential procedural/surgical options should always be discussed with your podiatrist after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition of the heel that results from inflammation of a band of tissue in your foot. Conservative treatment such as injections, stretching, orthotics and physical therapy is usually successful in treating plantar fasciitis, however, some cases become surgical if prior treatment doesn’t provide relief of pain. Surgery typically involves releasing part of the tight plantar fascia and performed in a surgical center under anesthesia. All symptoms, potential procedural, and plantar fasciitis treatment options should always be discussed with a physician after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Your plantar fascia is a thick band of connective tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot connecting your heel to your forefoot. The fascia is similar to a ligament in that it can tear, thicken and become painful. The fascia may be injured by direct trauma or by constant strain over time. Fasciitis is the medical term for swelling or inflammation of your fascia tissue.
Bunion surgery, also known as a bunionectomy, is probably the most effective treatment for forefoot deformity. The main goal of the procedure is to relieve pain and reduce discomfort during your walking cycle or other daily activities.
Before deciding on the most appropriate type of surgery, Our Podiatrists meticulously assesses various factors, such as how far the position of the bones in the foot has changed. Often people have a bunion deformity on both feet and correcting both deformities at the same time is referred to as a bilateral bunionectomy. We recommend correcting the deformity one foot at a time but in some instances, bilateral bunion surgery may be indicated. Visit Our Podiatrists, the best-rated bunion removal doctors, to explore your surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
All symptoms, potential procedural, bunion removal options should always be discussed with your local podiatrist or bunion surgeon after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
A corn is an unsightly localized lesion of hard thickened skin that is typically found over a pressure point. A corn is caused by the rubbing of a bone against your soft tissue causing skin to thicken and harden forming what is referred to as a corn. Conservative treatment of corns consists of shaving thickened skin, shoe modification and treatment with custom orthotics. Surgical options for corn treatment typically involve modifying the bone causing the pressure point under the corn. All symptoms and potential procedural/surgical options should always be discussed with your podiatrist after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. There are two different types of corns: soft and hard. Depending on the type of corn, its location as well what is causing it to form, your foot doctor in NYC will suggest a procedure to correct it.
Flat feet can cause pain, arthritis and tendon degeneration and is something that should be treated from an early age. If your flat foot pain is affecting your quality of life on a daily basis your New York foot doctor may recommend flat foot surgery. The goal of flat foot surgery is to create an arch in the foot and realign your center of gravity to a functionally optimal position. This type of surgery has a long recovery period thus conservative care should always be attempted first. Flat foot surgery is considered a reconstructive surgery and is quite customized to each foot depending on the individual patients bone structure and tendon health. All symptoms, potential procedural/surgical options should always be discussed with your podiatrist after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
Your heel is the primary exit point for the vertical forces travelling through your body. Each time you walk, run and jump, the heel is absorbing the shock of the body weight above and the ground force below. Thus it is no surprise so many people suffer from chronic heel pain. The most common cause of heel pain is a plantar fasciitis with or without the presence of a heel spur. Plantar fasciitis is caused by the pulling of a thick band of tissue that connects your heel to your forefoot. As you absorb shocks the arch of your foot tends to flatten with each step causing this band of tissue to stretch. As it is stretched, this band of tissue known as the plantar fascia, tugs on the heel bone (calcaneous) causing a heel spur to form. Conservative treatment is successful in relieving symptoms in most patients but some go on to needing surgery. Surgical treatment for heel spurs and plantar fasciitis yields great results and total relief of pain shortly after surgery is attained in most cases. All symptoms, potential procedural/surgical options should always be discussed with your podiatrist after a thorough consultation and examination for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.
We fit patients for custom foot orthotics. Custom foot orthotics are superior to what we all see in the drugstore or online because they are made specifically for your individual foot. Yes, there are common foot pathologies that which certain orthotic types may be beneficial. But having an orthotic that is produced based on a 3-D image or a mold of your foot is far superior to any store-bought insert.
Orthotics act to balance your feet and legs while controlling your foot while walking and standing. We modify the orthotics to correct deformities as well as to control the foot and prevent motions that cause pain.
Most people try the over-the-counter versions of orthotics first but often end up needing a more customized approach to get lasting relief. A good podiatry doctor does a full biomechanic evaluation to determine the type of orthotics that will work best for your individual symptoms. Biomechanics is a science that studies how your body moves during walking, running, and sports activities and is an integral component of a good sports medicine podiatric exam.
If you have burning pain or numbness in the ball area of your foot, you may be suffering from a Morton’s neuroma or a different type of neuroma. A Neuroma is a condition where the nerves in your forefoot form a large ball of scared nerve tissue causing pain and discomfort. In severe cases, neuroma surgery may be recommended to remove the affected nerve and surrounding scar tissue.
