Bowie Footcare | Bowie, MD podiatry

PROFESSIONAL BIO

Philosophy
Dr. Horowitz' "holistic" philosophy of podiatric medicine is integral to his practice: the foot's function must be viewed in relation to whole body mechanics, and this inter-relationship serves as the starting point to understanding his patients' foot pathology and symptoms. Over the years, this philosophy has guided his patient care and continuing professional education.

Training
Dr. Horowitz has been practicing in the Bowie area for the last 17 years. He graduated in 1983 from the Illinois College of Podiatric Medicine with a Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine and did his postgraduate training in podiatric medicine and surgery in association with the New York College of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Horowitz remained in New York for an additional two years to practice with several of his training program's attending doctors in order to further hone his medical and surgical skills.

Practice
Dr. Horowitz arrived in Washington metro area in 1986 and established Bowie Foot Care later that year. He quickly joined the staff at the newly opened Bowie Health Center Surgery Center. Dr. Horowitz enjoys the general nature of his practice and sees patients of all ages with a variety of foot problems. He especially enjoys dealing with the orthopedic nature of many podiatric problems, whether they be of recent onset or long standing. He has found that chronic problems affecting the ankle, knee, hip or back, can often be traced to recent symptoms within the foot, or vice versa.

The office is located on the Bowie Health Center campus. Across the lobby from the office is Dimensions Surgery Center, where Dr. Horowitz performs most of his outpatient surgery. Many other medical specialists are in the same building, as well as a lab and pharmacy for added convenience.
