Sometimes conservative treatment just won’t solve your foot problem. Surgery can be your best option. You want to make sure that your surgeon is board certified and has performed the surgery you need many times. All of the surgeons at Beaver Valley Foot Clinic are board certified and highly trained to treat all of your foot problems.
You don’t have to battle the Pittsburgh traffic to find the most highly skilled foot and ankle surgeons available.
Only a surgically trained podiatrist does enough foot surgeries on a regular basis to maintain foot specific skills. Since we are specialist and only care for the foot and ankle, you are receiving care from the most highly trained skilled doctor available for you problem.
We take continuing education credits each year to bring you the most up to date surgical techniques available.
Both Dr. Teimouri & Quattrone DPM have two goals with regard to your successful treatment. The first is to put an end to your foot pain now and for good. The second is to do everything possible to relieve your fears about treatment. Unlike a lot of the “quick fix” types of medical care today, they take the time necessary to really know you, as a patient, as a person, and as a partner in your recovery. That’s why you’ll always get one-on-one care from her personally. They will always listen attentively to your concerns, your ideas, and your fears. They’ll put you at ease with a complete explanation of your diagnosis, then discuss how it should be treated in easy to understand terms.
If you have been putting off that procedure for years, come on in and talk to Drs Teimouri or Quattrone DPM and see if this is right for you. We will be happy to answer all of your questions about the procedure, time off work, what to expect and more…. And if it’s not right for you,that’s ok, then at least you know. If it is, we can help you. Here is just a few of the common problems these two Board Certified surgeons see every day.
Bunions
A common deformity of the foot, a bunion is an enlargement of the bone and tissue around the joint of the big toe. Heredity frequently plays a role in the occurrence of bunions, as it does in other foot conditions. When symptomatic, the area may become red, swollen, and inflamed, making shoe gear and walking uncomfortable and difficult.
Bunionette (Tailor’s Bunion)
A protuberance of bone at the outside of the foot behind the fifth (small) toe, the bunionette or “small bunion” is caused by a variety of conditions including heredity, faulty biomechanics (the way one walks) or trauma, to name a few

Hammertoes
Symptoms of Hammertoes – curled or bent toes- include calluses, blisters, ulcerations, corns, redness and pain. Correction is simple, and performed right in the office surgical suite, no hospital at all. You will have a few stitches and elevate your foot for a few days. Most people who fix their hammertoes say if they would have known how simple it was they would’ve done it years ago!
Hammertoe
A neuroma is shown above–inflamed yellow area in the middle left region.

Neuromas
An irritation of a nerve may produce a neuroma, which is a benign enlargement of a nerve segment, commonly found between the third and fourth toes
Trauma, arthritis, high-heeled shoes, or an abnormal bone structure are just some of the conditions that may cause a neuroma. Symptoms such as burning or tingling in the ball of the foot or in the adjacent toes and even numbness are commonly seen with this condition. Those suffering from the condition often find relief by stopping their walk, taking off their shoe, and rubbing the affected area. At times, you may feel the pain is similar to having a stone in your shoe.
So call with any questions about the above, along with various other lumps and bumps and cysts and tumors. Your Feet Aren’t Supposed to Hurt. Call Beaver Valley Foot Clinic today at 724-375-1577

NEW Radiosurgery and Lasers in Podiatry – Keeping One Step Ahead !
Beaver Valley Foot Clinic- Bringing the latest technology to help our patients achieve the best results with less discomfort,
Introducing…RADIOSURGERY.
Radiosurgery is the newest, most effective way to remove unwanted tissue. It easily treats ingrown nails. If you’ve suffered with digging out ingrown nails, or repeated doctor visits, there is now a quick, rapidly healing and safer way to remove them in our office.
A wave of electrons at radiofrequency (bands between AM and FM) is used to remove the abnormal corner of the nail. The electrode remains ‘cold’ during the procedure, so the remaining tissue is protected from any burns. Compared to ‘cutting the root out’, or chemically burning the root with acid, or burning it with a ‘hot laser’, the healing time is cut in half or less! The radiowaves also keep the tip sterile, reducing the incidence of post-op infections, making this the perfect procedure for diabetic patients.
Plantar Warts and small tumors are better removed with Radiosurgery.
When making surgical incisions for procedures like hammertoes, Radiosurgery vaporizes approximately one layer of cells on either side of the incision giving the thinnest scar possible.
Tarsal tunnel
Dr. Quattrone is one of a handful of Podiatrist specially trained in the delicate procedure of triple nerve decompression which helps such symptoms as pain and tingling in the feet. Symptoms are similar to carpal tunnel in the hands.
