Welcome to Bayport Podiatry, founded in 1990. Written by Dr. Behar:

I take the Doctor Patient relationship very seriously.  Patients should be treated with respect and they should understand their diagnosis.  Uncovering and understanding the issues you face are critical to both proper treatment and your recovery; which is why comprehensive examinations and education of my patients is so critical.
