People do not think much about their feet until they are injured and have trouble walking. I chose to be a podiatrist because I realized I could make a difference in people’s lives by managing various foot conditions. I see patients with skin issues from infections to athlete’s foot infections to ingrown toenails. Some have orthopaedic issues such as injuries. Others have chronic disease that may cause pain or deformity but also systemic things that affect the feet such as diabetes.

There are a lot of patients who have anxiety about their diagnosis or the perceived treatment. Some patients have embarrassment and do not want to show me what the problem is. I want patients to know that their goals are my goals. I take the time to get to know my patients and customize each person’s treatment plan to meet their needs. I explain why they are experiencing foot pain and offer nonsurgical and surgical treatment options. It is gratifying when a patient comes to my office for treatment and feels better immediately afterward.

Patients let us into their lives and share a problem with us. My goal is to help them accomplish a goal, alleviate pain, or get better in some way.

Patient Comments

Dr. Gruttadauria is an exceptional Dr. He was patient, kind and LISTENED to my concerns. He also took time to educate me about the condition I saw him for, laid out the options for care and gave me a chance to think, ask questions and decide. He is HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE other U of R providers I've dealt with in the last 2 months..not within his office but still U of R. He is SUPERIOR.

Dr. G is simply excellent in every way. He is skillful, careful, and empathetic. I have what I would term as problem feet, coupled with osteoarthritis that makes it difficult for me to take care of nails. I have a painful bone spur on one toe, in spite of using toe separators. Dr. G is able to treat this with careful shaving of the area (no pain in this process). I rely on daily walking to maintain fitness, and I feel that my feet are essential to my walking and my overall well-being. Thus, there is no provider on whom I rely more for keeping me active.
