There are very few specialized Foot Care and Wound Care Clinics in India. Foot/Ankle problems and non-healing wounds are not considered a very major medical problem.
Currently, wound care is a neglected field in India except in few selected institutes in the country. As the incidence of Diabetes and Diabetic Foot ulcer increases, this lacuna is likely to pose serious challenge for public health system.
Seeing the increasing number of patients with foot related problems Dr. Sanjay felt the need to start a state of the art specialised Foot Clinic dealing exclusively with foot, ankle & wound problems in diabetics, sportsmen, athletes and also general population.
The mission is to provide prompt diagnosis, treatment, management, customised orthotics & footwear and patient education. His ultimate goal is to heal patients as quickly and safely as possible and to prevent further complications & amputations!!
With this mission and goal, Dr. Sanjay Vaidya, started Feet First Clinic - Advanced Foot Care and Wound Management Centres with state of the art treatments, modalities and technologies to cater to foot problems, complex and hard to heal wounds.
Under his leadership Feet First Clinic received Guinness World Record Award for participating in foot sensation testing pan India conducted by Diabetic Foot Society of India.
