Podiatrist Serving Hyattsville, MD | DMV Foot & Ankle

 

Expert Foot & Ankle Care for Hyattsville Residents – Just Minutes from Our Washington, DC Office

At DMV Foot & Ankle, we proudly serve Hyattsville, Maryland residents with advanced podiatric care. Our practice is conveniently located at 106 Irving St NW Ste 402, Washington, DC 20010—just 6 miles south of downtown Hyattsville, making expert foot and ankle treatment easily accessible to Prince George's County patients.

 

Why Do Hyattsville Patients Choose DMV Foot & Ankle?

 

Convenient Location with Easy Access

Our Washington, DC office is approximately 15-20 minutes from Hyattsville via Rhode Island Avenue or Route 1. We're located near the intersection of Irving Street and Georgia Avenue NW, with ample parking available in the medical building garage.

 

Dual Board-Certified Expertise

Dr. Alex Mattia holds board certifications from both the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS) and the American Board of Podiatric Medicine (ABPM)—credentials that fewer than 30% of practicing podiatrists hold. This dual certification ensures you receive expert care whether your condition requires conservative treatment or surgical intervention.

 

Advanced Regenerative Medicine

Unlike most area podiatrists, DMV Foot & Ankle offers cutting-edge regenerative treatments including oral peptide therapy, stem cell products from donated umbilical tissue, and fat pad allografts. These innovative therapies help patients heal faster and often avoid surgery entirely.

 

Conservative-First Treatment Philosophy

Our approach achieves 85-90% success rates with conservative (non-surgical) treatment. Fewer than 5% of our patients ultimately require surgical intervention, because we exhaust every effective non-surgical option first.

 

Same-Day Appointments Available

We understand foot pain can't wait. For urgent needs, we offer same-day appointments so Hyattsville residents can get the care they need quickly.

 

What Conditions Do We Treat for Hyattsville Patients?

 

Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis

Sharp, stabbing heel pain—especially with your first steps in the morning—is often plantar fasciitis. Our multi-modal approach combines custom orthotics, Class IV laser therapy (typically 4-6 sessions), stretching protocols, and regenerative medicine when needed. Most patients experience significant relief within 8-12 weeks.

 

Sports Injuries

From weekend warriors to competitive athletes, we treat ankle sprains, stress fractures, Achilles tendinitis, and other athletic injuries. Dr. Mattia's sports medicine expertise and MedStar Georgetown training ensure you receive evidence-based treatment designed for rapid, safe return to activity.

Diabetic Foot Care

Diabetes affects nearly 15% of Prince George's County adults—one of the highest rates in Maryland. Our comprehensive diabetic foot care program includes routine exams, wound care, custom diabetic footwear, and preventive strategies to reduce amputation risk by up to 85%.

 

Bunions & Hammertoes

Painful bunions and hammertoes don't always require surgery. We start with padding, orthotics, and footwear modifications. When surgery is necessary, Dr. Mattia uses minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery and less post-operative pain.

 

Toenail Fungus & Laser Treatment

Stubborn toenail fungus often doesn't respond to over-the-counter treatments. Our Class IV laser therapy destroys fungal infections without medications or side effects, with visible improvement typically beginning within 2-3 months.

 

Custom Orthotics

We create medical-grade custom orthotics—not the generic insoles sold at pharmacies. Using precise measurements and gait analysis, your orthotics are designed specifically for your feet, activities, and footwear preferences.
