Tending to Business: NJ Foot and Ankle Center in Oradell

"Treat people how you would treat a family member" is the philosophy of Dr. Dan Margolin's practice, NJ Foot and Ankle Center in Oradell.
Margolin moved his office from Somerset to Oradell in 2000. He's board certified in American Podiatric Surgery and podiatric orthopedics and medicine, and has served as chairman of the Department of Podiatric Surgery at St. Peter's Hospital in New Brunswick for more than three years.
Initially, Margolin wanted to be a veterinarian. When his grandmother introduced him to her podiatrist, it inspired him to pursue his current career.
"I owe it to my grandmother," he said. "We let anyone aspiring to podiatry come in for a day and welcome people in to give back."
Although Margolin performs numerous surgeries, he doesn't define himself as surgically-focused.
"I'd rather be conservative and do surgery when I have to," he said. "I'm much more holistically-oriented than medically. I'd rather use vitamins than medicine."
Some of the most common conditions Margolin treats are heel pain, plantar fasciitis, and nail fungus.
Margolin also started Shoes for the Needy, a program that runs from September through March to collect new or slightly worn shoes. Margolin had the idea after he noticed various patients unable to wear new shoes due to foot pain. He offered to donate the shoes instead of people throwing them away.
"We had hundreds of shoes show up," Margolin said.
An average of about 10,000 pairs of shoes are collected a year. Children's shoes are the highest in demand.
On a particularly serendipitous occasion, a man found a pair of work boots in his size that he needed for a new job.
"You don't realize sometimes the effect something small has on someone," Margolin said. "[The program] has been going on for 26 years. I'm proud of it."
NJ Foot and Ankle Center's patients cover an equal amount of women, men, and children. Margolin said, "The most common [age group is] boys ages 10 to 13 who get growing pains with tendons and bones in the foot which don't keep up with each other, especially with sports."
Margolin puts a high priority on patient satisfaction.
"We do our best and deliver what we promise," he said. "Our goal is to give you more than you expect."
NJ Foot and Ankle Center regularly issues surveys to make sure patients' needs are being met.
"We [have] a very specific protocol and follow it [so that] we don't miss much," Margolin said. "Quality is my lifelong ambition."
Margolin and his staff at NJ Foot and Ankle strive to make the office a home-like setting. "Our slogan is, 'You've got a foot doctor in the family,'" he said. "We try to live up to that."
NJ Foot and Ankle Center is located at 550 Kinderkamack Road, Suite 202, in Oradell. For more information, call 201-261-9445.
