Waldemar Majdanski, DPM, FACFAS, is a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon and the founder of Local Foot Doc, with locations in Brooklyn and Queens, New York City, and in the neighborhoods of Woodhaven, Forest Hills, East Flatbush, and Astoria.
In 2011, Dr. Majdanski graduated from New York College of Podiatric Medicine (NYCPM) in the top 15% of his class. While he was a student at NYCPM, he went on several medical mission trips to provide medical care to people in developing countries, where he learned the importance of access to quality treatment.
After graduating from NYCPM, he completed a four-year residency in podiatric medicine, one of a few of its kind, at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn. He first began developing his wide range of podiatric surgical skills as a resident. In the final year of his training, Dr. Majdanski was chief resident, supervising and teaching more than 30 other residents.
Dr. Majdanski specializes in elective, reconstructive, and traumatic foot and ankle surgery, sports medicine (with a focus on sports injuries of the foot and ankle), pediatric podiatry, podiatric dermatology, and diabetic limb salvage and wound care. He is proud to provide the communities of Brooklyn and Queens with top-of-the-line surgical care, including minimally invasive treatments for bunions, hammertoe, tarsal coalition, foot and ankle arthroscopy, and more.
