Please come to Palisades Alliance for Seniors' September 23 program, titled "Foot and Ankle Ailments.” Our speaker will be Arash Hassid, D.P.M., FACFAS, director of the SoCal Foot and Ankle Center.
As we age, the likelihood increases that we will encounter foot issues such as nail disorders, corns and calluses, hammertoes, bunions, plantar fasciitis, hallux valgus, neuropathy, edema, and heel and arch pain. Foot problems and pain can inhibit daily activities, leading to a decrease in mobility that can exacerbate other age-related conditions. Dr. Hassid will answer your questions about these problems and discuss approaches and interventions that can alleviate pain and improve function.
Dr. Hassid is a podiatric foot and ankle surgeon who has been in practice for fourteen years. He is a member of the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons, and is board certified in foot surgery with the American Board of Foot & Ankle Surgery. He has practices in Cedars Sinai Medical Towers and Santa Monica Medical Plaza.
Dr. Hassid completed a three-year comprehensive foot and ankle surgical residency at the Veterans Administration Program in West LA and at UCLA's Olive View Medical Center. He received his D.P.M. degree from the California School of Podiatric Medicine, Samuel Merritt College, and his B.S. degree in Psychobiology from UCLA.
The free program will take place in the Palisades Branch Library’s Community Room, and run from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 noon. The library is located at 861 Alma Real Drive in Pacific Palisades. For ADA accommodations, call (213) 228-7430 at least 72 hours prior to the event.
