Expert Care for Flat Feet — Restore Comfort & Mobility
Flat feet (fallen arches) can cause pain, imbalance, and long-term joint issues if left untreated. Whether you’re an adult experiencing discomfort or a parent concerned about your child’s foot development, we provide specialized treatment tailored to every stage of life.
At our Manhattan clinic, we focus on diagnosing the root cause and creating personalized treatment plans to improve function, alignment, and overall foot health.
What Are Flat Feet?
Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet collapse or fail to develop properly, causing the entire sole to touch the ground. This condition can be flexible (only visible when standing) or rigid (present at all times).
While some cases are painless, others can lead to discomfort in the feet, ankles, knees, and even the lower back.

EXCELLENT Based on 96 reviews Posted on Eric VillegasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Yesterday was my first visit with Dr. Perez. I was impressed by her practice. Very chic, modern and clean. The technology she uses is above par. I was able to receive some test results immediately. The staff is warm and friendly and definitely conveyed empathy and assurance. This was refreshing. The Doctor took her time with the consultation. She was detailed in her explanation and thorough with her diagnosis and prognosis. She allowed for questions and provided detailed replies and options for treatment. At no time did I feel rushed. The doctor spoke with candor about my circumstances and didn't fill me with any false hope. I appreciated her direct approach on how I got to where I am currently. Even though some of the information shared was difficult to hear, I did leave with an optimistic outlook. I look forward to returning for our follow-up visit and the treatment proposed. Thank you Dr. Perez!Posted on Julie NamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Excellent and comforting bedside manner Explained everything Recommend without reservationPosted on NokkitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Perez is an excellent foot and ankle surgeon. I recently underwent an ankle arthroscopy with cement injection, PRP injection, and a bunionectomy. I am still healing, but I am extremely grateful that I chose her for this procedure. She is incredibly compassionate, accommodating, and truly detail‑oriented. She listens to her patients with genuine care and gives thoughtful, attentive explanations. Her office is immaculately clean and aesthetically beautiful, which adds to the overall positive experience. Natalia at the front desk is always so helpful and pleasant, making every visit smooth and stress-free. I am truly grateful to have found Dr. Perez.Posted on Jovelle De llamasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience at Flex Foot & Ankle. I broke my 5th metatarsal and needed surgery to properly align it, and from start to finish, everything went smoothly. Dr. Perez is truly amazing — she is not only highly skilled but also incredibly caring. She treats her patients like family and honestly felt like a mom to me throughout the process. She took the time to explain everything, made sure I was comfortable, and showed genuine concern for my recovery. The clinic itself is very clean and well-organized, and the staff are all kind, professional, and welcoming. The entire surgical process and follow-up care went very well, and I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to Dr. Perez and her team, my recovery has been great and I’m now able to work properly again. I am so happy I chose this clinic and would highly recommend Flex Foot & Ankle to anyone needing foot or ankle care.Posted on Gwendolyn Van BurenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Dr Gianni Perez has been what anyone seeking thorough orthopedic care should be looking for…She explains what’s wrong and comes up with solutions. I highly recommend. (Her assistant is great too!)Posted on Eleeza MantoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Can not say enough about Dr. Perez. She came with a great reputation and went beyond and beyond. She is someone who enjoys her work & easily interacts with her patients.. I would definitely come back to her if needed and would have no issue recommending her. Her staff is very accommodating and professional.Posted on Thompson KeithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience at Flex Foot has been nothing shot of a great experience. I would recommend Dr Perez to all my friends my feet were a wreck and my doctor let her skills do the talking. My feet are looking good and my Dr stays on top of my recovery which I truly appreciate and admire.Posted on Susan KnightTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Perez is caring, kind and extremely knowledgeable. I think feet are ‘tricky’—takes extreme patience, listening and exemplary communication to help someone with foot/ankle problems. Dr. Perez is that person. Her office staff are also excellent.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
