We sadly inform our patients that Dr. Claudia Camurati retired from practicing podiatry on September 2008 due to personal reasons. The staff and I all wish her much happiness in all her future endeavors. Although we, at the Astoria Foot Care Group, are sad to see Claudia leave, we are also very excited to welcome Dr. Eugene Kim, DPM to our podiatry practice.

We are overjoyed that Dr. Kim has joined the practice on a full time basis. Dr. Kim grew up in New York and graduated with honors at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Upon graduating, he attended a 3-year surgical residency at NY Methodist Hospital and has since worked in private practice in Brooklyn.

Rest assured that Dr. Kim and all of us at Astoria Foot Care share a commitment to high quality and compassionate foot care. We look forward to providing all of our patients with the same personalized care for many years to come.

Thank you again for your continued support and trust.

Sincerely, Steven Mermelstein, DPM

Studies have shown that regular visits to the foot doctor help prevent painful and problematic foot conditions in the future.

We have made ourselves more available to our patients by increasing our hours beginning at 8:00 AM most mornings and remaining open until 8:00 PM, three days a week. We now participate in even more health plans than we have in the past.

Please call our office to schedule an appointment. We look forward to seeing you.
