General Practitioners

Warts
Arthritis
In the most basic terms, bunions form when your joints and tendons bear weight unevenly, putting extra pressure on your big toe joint and causing it to fall out of alignment. The root cause could be one (or more) of many things—an inherited structural defect in your foot, flat feet, ill-fitting shoes, rheumatoid arthritis—but the result is the same: a big toe pushing towards the smaller toes and a hard, ugly knob on the side of your foot. The condition develops slowly, but eventually it can begin to cause pain and swelling, limit your mobility, and can cause secondary conditions such as bursitis, corns, hammertoe, and metatarsalgia.
Plantar Fasciitis
Within a few minutes, we are able to evaluate and diagnose a multitude of problems such as neuromas, tendonitis, bursitis, bone spurs, ulcers, arthritis and plantar fasciitis and how extensive the pathology may be. The images are captured to our patients’ charts and we then have an opportunity to discuss and implement a comprehensive treatment plan immediately.
Primary Care
Some insurances may require a referral from your primary care physician. Specifically: HMOs and some plans from Tufts and Harvard Pilgrim, and all Mass Health plans. We will need to receive your referral prior to your first appointment, or you will personally be charged for that visit ($90). To obtain a referral please call your PCP and give them our NPI #: 184-123-5686 and our FAX #: (617) 774-1458. Our website lists all the insurances we accept. We do not accept BMC (Boston Medical Center) or Stewart insurance.
Diabetic Foot Care
If you’re one of the 30 million Americans living with diabetes, you’re prone to serious foot complications, including nerve damage. At Foot Care Specialists PC, the practice of Marshall L. Lukoff, DPM, FAAFS, the medical team provides diabetic foot care to help maintain your best overall health. As the premier podiatrist and foot and ankle specialist, with offices in Quincy, Massachusetts, Dr. Lukoff and his compassionate team ensure that each patient has the best diabetic foot care available.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
At Foot Care Specialists, we utilize diagnostic ultrasound to determine many different bone and soft tissue foot and ankle pathologies. The procedure is completely non-invasive, painless and is performed right in our office.
X-Rays

Orthopedics
Wound Care
Diabetes attacks the bloodstream by narrowing the blood vessels leading to decreased circulation throughout the body. When you have poor circulation, you are not able to fight off infections as efficiently, which leads to more dangerous results from wounds and ulcers. Combined with neuropathy, poor circulation in the feet can be especially dangerous. If both ailments are present, the risk of severe infection is increased with extreme cases leading to foot amputation. If you have a foot ulcer please contact us immediately for foot or ankle wound care.
Ankle Surgery
Bunions
Bunions may be unsightly, and without surgery they are permanent. They aren’t always necessary to treat, though, if they aren’t bothering you. If you catch it early enough, something as simple as wearing properly fitting shoes can help minimize pressure on the bump and stop it from getting any worse.
Gangrene
It’s important to treat diabetic foot conditions before they lead to more serious situations like gangrene. Untreated diabetic neuropathy can potentially lead to amputation of the affected toes or foot.
Ingrown Toenails
It’s amazing that an ingrown toenail – one of the tiniest foot problems – can cause so much discomfort. Marshall L. Lukoff, DPM, FAAFS of Foot Care Specialists, PC, is the premier podiatrist and foot and ankle specialist in the greater Boston area, with offices in Quincy, Massachusetts. Dr. Lukoff treats ingrown toenails quickly and efficiently with the CO2 laser and other effective methods. He takes an individualized approach to your foot care and provides relief you need for ingrown toenails and other uncomfortable conditions. Call the office closest to you or request the next available appointment online.

Plastic Surgeons

Hammertoe Surgery
In severe cases, hammertoe surgery may be recommended to correct the deformity. Contact our Quincy, MA office at the Crown Colony Medical Center for more information.

Corns
The average person is quite familiar with calluses, whether they can be found on palms due to manual labor, fingertips from practicing the guitar, or the feet from running great distances. Calluses are simply hardened, compacted layers of dead skin that your body develops to protect itself from excessive friction or pressure. Corns are basically the same thing, except they have an inner core that might be soft from sweat being trapped when it formed.
Cyst
Ulcer
If you think you have an ulcer, call Dr. Marshall L. Lukoff, DPM to schedule an appointment. At Foot Care Specialists, PC we know how painful and dangerous ulcers can be. Schedule an appointment with our Crown Colony Medical Center office in Quincy, MA for help today.
Calluses
Diabetics often experience very dry skin on their feet, sometimes leading to peeling, deep cracks in the skin, or calluses. Nerve damage is often the culprit for these skin condition changes. When a patient experiences nerve damage in their feet, the nerves located there are no longer able to monitor the oils on the feet to keep them moisturized properly. Lack of moisturizing can lead to the skin drying out severely. This ailment is particularly alarming for diabetic patients as cracks in the skin can result in threatening and aggressive infections. Contact our foot doctor for help today.
Fungus
Several different nail procedures are available, including partial or complete removal and laser treatment. The CoolTouch laser procedure is cutting edge technology that helps eliminate your nail fungus quickly. This particular remedy has no post-op restrictions or side effects, and the fungus is usually taken care of in three quick treatments—unlike oral medications, which can take months to be effective, have many side effects, and don’t work for everyone. It’s more effective than topical anti-fungal medications like sprays or ointments which can’t penetrate the nail to get to the fungus underneath. The laser uses focused light that easily passes through nail tissue. It deals with the source directly, allowing you to heal more quickly.
Psoriasis

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
Dr. Marshall Lukoff introduces the world’s most advanced pain relieving and healing modality. He is one of the first podiatrists in New England to use MR4 Super Pulsed Laser technology. Super Pulsed Laser Therapy is very effective and used widely in Sports Medicine.
Physical Therapy
As you heal, you may need physical therapy to help re-stabilize and strengthen your joint. In rare cases, your ankle may not respond to the conservative treatments. Then a surgical repairmay be your best option for relief.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Sometimes people take common injuries for granted, and they may not take them as seriously as they should. Everyone has twisted their ankle at some point. It’s nearly impossible to make it through childhood without doing so. An ankle sprain is more than just a little twist. It can involve serious damage that destabilizes the whole lower limb.
Back Pain
Orthotics and Prosthetic Therapy

General Podiatry
As a compassionate, caring physician who values the importance of exercise and good nutrition for maintaining head-to-toe health, Marshall L. Lukoff, DPM, FAAFS practices what he preaches, participating in a rigorous daily workout routine of biking, swimming, and Pilates. Dr. Lukoff, of Foot Care Specialists, PC, has dedicated his life to serving the local community through his expertise in medicine and podiatry. He continues to care for adult patients as the premier foot and ankle specialist in the area.
Achilles Tendonitis
Ankle Instability
An ankle sprain isn’t always taken as seriously as it deserves. Loosening a ligament can lead to chronic ankle instability and discomfort if not handled correctly. Don’t wait until you can hardly walk to seek help for this important joint. Contact Foot Care Specialists, PC in Quincy, MA, for an appointment or more information about caring for your lower limbs after an injury.
Ankle Sprain
Many of our patients present with foot or ankle injuries. These injuries could be the result of simply tripping on the stairs, stepping on a foreign object while barefoot or from playing their favorite sports activity.
Bunions Problems
Bunions are a relatively common foot problem, with as many as 1 in 30 adults under 30 and up to 1 in 6 adults over 60 suffering from some form of the condition. Over time, uneven pressure on the foot causes the big toe to drift toward the second toe, enlarging the joint at the base of the big toe and pushing it outward, reshaping the inside of your foot.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
If you have diabetes and experience symptoms from any of these related conditions, you could benefit from diabetic foot care from the medical team at Foot Care Specialists. They can take care of your nails and skin to make sure your feet are as healthy as possible.
Flat Feet
However, you could develop this condition from a painful injury or another problem that affects the tissues supporting the midfoot. These “fallen arches” are called adult acquired flatfoot deformity. They can appear in just one foot or in both feet at once. Usually, the problem is the result of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, injury to the bones or ligaments in the arch, arthritis in the tarsals, or diabetic foot collapse. As your feet fall inward, the discomfort becomes more pronounced and may make it difficult to participate in high-impact activities.
Fungus Toenails
Several different procedures can relieve uncomfortable nail fungus symptoms and get rid of the infection, including removing part or all of the infected nails, or laser treatment with the CoolTouch laser. Dr. Lukoff is an expert at treating toenail fungus with the CoolTouch CoolBreeze™ Laser, a cutting-edge technology that quickly eliminates nail fungus. Treatment with the CoolTouch laser has no side effects and eliminates the fungus in just three treatments.
Hammertoes
Support and provide enough room for deformities such as hammertoes and amputations; your shoes should stabilize the deformity to relieve pain and prevent additional damage.
Heel Spurs
Your body has an assortment of tricks up its sleeve to heal itself and provide protection from dangerous situations. When you consider everything your body can do in these regards, it’s rather remarkable. It is able to mend broken bones, fight off foreign viruses, and clot blood to prevent loss. Sometimes these efforts lead to unintended consequences, such as when additional bone tissue is developed that becomes a painful heel spur. Another example is when corns and calluses lead to discomfort or even pain
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
If you catch an ingrown toenail early, you might be able to easily treat it at home by soaking your foot in warm, soapy water several times a day until the condition improves. Avoid wearing tight shoes, and monitor your toe for signs of improvement. If it gets worse, or you see signs of infection, such as redness and swelling, or severe pain, it’s best to seek treatment from a qualified podiatrist like Dr. Lukoff.
Foot Injuries
Metatarsalgia
The ball of your foot is also called the metatarsal region. When you look down at the top of your foot, you may see or feel five long bones coming down to the center of your foot. These are the metatarsal bones that connect your toes to the rest of your foot. They help to distribute your weight evenly, keep you balanced, and provide acceleration when you move. The impact on this area can be intense and without sufficient rest, or with a faulty foot structure, the metatarsal area can become very overworked and cause pain. When this happens, we refer to ball of foot pain as “metatarsalgia.”
Foot Orthotics
Foot orthotics are custom foot supports. They are designed to fit your feet more efficiently than over-the-counter (OTC) arch supports and balance the biomechanical inadequacies of your feet and legs. Custom orthotics are designed specifically for your feet, gait and biomechanics. OTC arch supports come in a standard size. While they will match some peoples’ arches, others may find the support too high or low, or too far back or forward. Our custom orthotics vary depending on the type of sports, activities and athletics are patients engage in. They also vary depending on the type of shoe, sandal or boot our patients wear. We use different labs for advanced technologies such as our Dynaflange orthotic that literally puts a “spring” in your step. Whatever your needs may be, we have the perfect orthotic for you.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is most common for people who have structural problems such as flat feet or high arches. Additionally, wearing unsupportive shoes or spending many hours a day on a hard, flat surface can put strain on the plantar fascia and lead to heel pain and discomfort.
Podiatric Deformities
Foot deformities such as bunions and hammertoes can add extra stress on the metatarsals, as can poorly fitting shoes. High heels are common culprits, as they force all of the body weight onto the ball of the foot. Wearing shoes with narrow toe boxes or even athletic shoes without the proper support or cushioning can lead to metatarsalgia. Finally, being overweight, having a stress fracture in your foot, and Morton’s neuroma are also contributing factors.
Podiatric Orthopedics
Dr. Lukoff maintains licenses and affiliations including board certifications in podiatric orthopedics, pain management, and podiatric surgery. He is a fellow of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery and a fellow of the Academy of Ambulatory Foot and Ankle Surgery.
Podiatric Surgery
Dr. Lukoff began his career in premedical sciences at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio, and went on to earn his doctorate in podiatric medicine from Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio (now the Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine). He completed his residency in podiatric medicine and foot surgery at Central Hospital in Somerville, Massachusetts. He stays current with the latest techniques and technologies in podiatry so he can offer patients the most advanced foot and ankle treatment methods available.
