Houstonian Foot and Ankle Specialists

Even though the sweltering summer months are behind us, Houstonians are still wearing sandals well into fall. Keeping those ankles, feet, and toes in tip-top shape is a priority. Dr. Elnaz Sabeti considers her podiatry practice, Houstonian Foot and Ankle Specialists, to be Houston’s premier destination for the most innovative regenerative medicine and biologic technology in foot and ankle therapy. This month, she’s celebrating four years since her practice opened, continuing to serve communities in Greater Houston with her innovative podiatry treatments and exceptional patient care.

Dr. Sabeti is a board certified podiatrist and a diplomate of the American Board of Podiatric Medicine. Her dedicated missions are to prevent foot deformities in pediatric patients, provide rehabilitative treatment of foot injuries in sports medicine, and deliver comprehensive foot care to diabetic patients. She treats each patient like an extended member of her family. Her warm and friendly approach is central to forming relationships with patients who trust her expertise and guidance.

Her medical training includes extensive experience in diabetic foot care, foot and ankle trauma, and limb salvage. Her unique combination of surgical dexterity, knowledge of biomechanics in foot deformities, and her personable bedside manner allow her to offer the exclusive, top-quality podiatric care she is known for. Utilizing the most advanced technology and treatment options afford her patients relief and healing of podiatry issues, from basic ingrown toenails to detailed surgical procedures.

Biomechanical Imbalances in Babies and Young Children

Foot and ankle conditions have no age limitations. Foot development is ongoing throughout childhood. Podiatry issues can start as early as birth and continue throughout a patient’s life if not treated properly. One of Dr. Sabeti’s passions is treating babies and young children for biomechanical imbalances, which can affect their knees, hips, and back. She uses custom foot orthotics to correct children’s foot deformities, mitigating future pain and problems.

Microwave Heat Therapy for Stubborn Skin Condition

Houstonian Foot and Ankle combines progressive technology and advancements with Dr. Sabeti’s expertise to treat pain and inflammation while promoting healthy healing. She utilizes the Swift System’s microwave heat therapy device for treating stubborn skin conditions and difficult, resistant warts. Leveraging the unique properties of microwave energy, Swift rapidly increases tissue temperatures to target the root cause of skin issues. “There is less than one percent of wart recurrence using Swift, proving to be a very successful treatment,” Dr. Sabeti said.

MLS Laser Therapy

MLS therapy uses a robotic device to deliver precisely targeted laser light. It aids in the treatment of arthritis pain and inflammation, chronic pain, neuropathy, fractures, tendonitis, and fast post-surgical recovery. Interaction of laser light with the body’s cells activates mitochondrial biochemical effects. The conservative treatment decreases inflammation and pain while increasing and restoring normal blood flow to accelerate the body’s natural healing process.

Wound Care

Additionally, MLS laser therapy is used in wound care to speed healing and decrease inflammation. Dr. Sabeti treats wound care in general, and in her opinion, uses the best wound care products to heal wounds as quickly as possible. Diabetics make up most of her wound care patients due to their lowered immune system and reduced blood flow to the feet. Decreased blood flow can damage the foot’s nerves, lessening the ability to feel sensations like pain. Dr. Sabeti schedules regular appointments with her diabetic patients to check for any foot injuries or complications related to the disease.

Meet Dr. Sabeti

The importance of education was a central focus in Dr. Sabeti’s upbringing. Her parents stressed education and learning as a top priority, but as a believer of the Bahai faith, she was being discriminated against and was not allowed to continue her higher educational endeavors. When she and her family moved to the United States 20 years ago, she worked hard to achieve her goal of becoming a doctor and owning her private practice. Through her inspiring endeavors, she hopes to empower women to pursue higher education and strive to succeed in their careers.

Dr. Sabeti earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of Houston in 2010. She continued studies at The University of Texas, San Antonio, obtaining a second bachelor’s degree from The University of Texas Health Science Center. She received her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM) at New York College of Podiatric Medicine in 2016 and continued her comprehensive medical training in foot and ankle surgery at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. She is certified in foot and ankle arthroscopy by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons. Additionally, she’s certified by Empire Medical Training for administering injectables (Botox, dermal fillers), and for performing sclerotherapy – the treatment of spider and/or varicose veins. Dr.Sabeti is also recognized as a Texas TopDoc to serve the Texas community.

In addition to her medical career, Dr. Sabeti has many hobbies. She enjoys outdoor activities, hiking, cooking, baking, and traveling with her husband, Shahin. They’re the parents of two young daughters, Nellie and Juliet, ages two and nine months respectfully. They all love being outdoors, going to the park, and swimming.

Dr. Sabeti is passionate about serving Houston and surrounding communities with an outstanding level of personalized patient care. If you would like to learn more about Houstonian Foot and Ankle Specialists and the services Dr. Sabeti provides, visit her website.
