Our Mission

Laser Podiatry Associates understands that if your feet hurt, your entire body suffers. The pain radiating from your feet and ankles is strong enough to stop you dead in your tracks. Dr. Jennifer E. Mullendore is board-certified by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and has a Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine.

Our convenient offices are unique because we provide individualized care in a compassionate environment. Our patients are more than just a file or a number. We take time to get to know you on a first-name basis, see how active your lifestyle is, and utilize the best methods medicine can offer to help fix your injury so that it doesn’t leave you on the sidelines of life for long.

Every person and their foot and ankle problems are unique. Rather than use a “one size fits all” approach in treating our patients, we use techniques and procedures that work best for you, your lifestyle, and your ailment to get you back on your feet quickly and safely. At Laser Podiatry Associates, we treat patients in the Maryland area for general podiatry conditions, including bunions, corns, calluses, warts, ingrown toenails, heel pain, ankle pain, and diabetic foot care. We specialize in podiatric surgery and even foot surgery in case of some chronic conditions.

Our Patients

Our patients come in all ages, shapes, and sizes, often with a history of foot and ankle conditions they have tried to treat on their own or with over-the-counter remedies.

Advanced Technologies/Alternatives To Surgery

The human body can heal itself, so we try to avoid surgery as much as possible. Not only will it be less expensive for you, but it will also help you heal yourself naturally and efficiently. This is why we offer our patients the very latest medical advances, such as state-of-the-art MLS treatments, pulse laser treatment, and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments.

MLS Laser Therapy

Pulse Laser Treatment

Every year, 3.5 million people in the United States are treated for warts (known as verrucae). Have you had unsuccessful wart treatment before? Other doctors may have tried acids, cryogenics, chemical agents, and surgical excision on you, but they all failed? Don’t fret: you aren’t alone, and a successful treatment plan is in your future if you choose our experienced, board-certified staff to help you.

Other ankle specialists may have failed you before, but we are able to successfully remove what you may have known as recalcitrant warts (commonly known as resistant warts) through state-of-the-art pulse laser treatments. Clinical studies have proven that laser treatments are successful when other treatments have failed.

Pulse laser treatments shouldn’t be feared. Lasers are minimally invasive and won’t burden you with an open wound hindering your ability to walk and function. It can be used on all ages and skin types. In fact, by using lasers in combination with our 51 years of experience, we can get our patients back to their active lifestyles and healthy feet almost immediately and in as few as two treatments. Clinical studies have shown that two-thirds of resistant wart patients only needed two treatments with a laser.

So, how does the pulse laser treatment work exactly? In order to remove your wart, we use the heat energy created by the lasers to destroy it. More than that, we use it to destroy the red blood cells that are “feeding” the wart, so it doesn’t return. We do this by using a device that emits a tiny but powerful pulse of light absorbed by the pigment within the red blood cells of the wart. The light is then directed at the wart using a pencil-like handpiece. The wart’s nutritional blood flow is cut off by absorbing this light. This means the laser has successfully obliterated the virus causing your wart at the base of the membrane.

The best part of all? The skin remains intact, which means no bleeding, no scarring and minimal chances of postoperative infection.

Platelet Rich Plasma

We also offer Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) as an alternative to surgery for those suffering from:

    • Arthritic joints;
    • Sports injuries
    • Achilles tendonitis
    • Plantar fasciitis, and
    • Other inflammatory ailments.

By using Plasma Therapy, we help expedite your body’s healing process. Platelets are small, colorless cell fragments that are formed in the bone marrow and constantly pass through the bloodstream. With a PRP injection, the platelets gather at the site of an injury and release a highly concentrated amount of beneficial proteins called growth factors to stimulate healing and alleviate your pain.

This state-of-the-art procedure is so beneficial and time-effective that even busy celebrities like golfer Tiger Woods use it. PRP treatments take less than an hour. Only 10 ml of your blood will be drawn so that we can put it into a centrifuge. After only five short minutes, your platelets will have been separated from the red and white blood cells to make platelet-rich plasma. Our staff will then use a specialized dual syringe to withdraw the newly made PRP and inject it into your problem area. By doing so, we will stimulate and accelerate your bone and soft tissue healing.
