Frequently Asked
Questions
Common questions regarding Dr. Miranda's surgical practice, recovery timelines, and insurance coverage.
Does Dr. Miranda see patients for non-surgical issues?
Yes. While Dr. Miranda is the Chief of Surgery and specializes in complex reconstruction, he also treats general podiatric conditions including sports injuries, diabetic wounds, and dermatological issues. He believes in exploring all conservative options before recommending surgery.
What is "Limb Salvage" and who needs it?
Limb salvage involves advanced surgical techniques to save a foot or leg that is at risk of amputation due to severe infection, diabetic ulcers, or trauma. Dr. Miranda specializes in these complex procedures to preserve function and mobility for at-risk patients.
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Miranda?
Most insurance plans do not require a referral for a specialist visit. However, some HMO plans may require one from your primary care physician. We recommend checking with your insurance provider or calling our office for assistance.
What days does Dr. Miranda operate?
Dr. Miranda typically performs major surgeries on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays at North Queens Surgery Center or Kingsbrook. He holds clinic hours for consultations and follow-ups on Thursdays and Fridays at our Floral Park office.
What is Rear Foot Reconstruction?
Rear foot reconstruction addresses deformities or arthritis in the back part of the foot (heel and ankle). This includes correcting flat feet (fallen arches), cavus foot (high arches), and post-traumatic arthritis using advanced hardware and bone realignment techniques.
How soon can I walk after surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure. For minimally invasive surgeries, patients often walk in a boot immediately. For complex rear-foot reconstruction, a period of non-weight bearing (crutches or knee scooter) for 4-6 weeks is typically required to ensure proper bone healing.
