“We don’t have as many podiatrists in Zimbabwe. It is a medical field that is not popular, but necessary. I have engaged the Ministry of Health and Child Care if they could create a post for a podiatrist,” she said. The Waterfalls-born podiatrist said Zimbabwe has a handful of podiatrists and many patients with foot and ankle problems who were previously attended to by medical doctors.

NY Podiatrist Believes Leasing a Car is the Best Option
When Long Islanders need a new car, almost six in 10 lease it, a rate more than twice the national average, according to consulting firm IHS Automotive. Not everyone believes it's the most economical route to an auto. But many consumers view auto leasing as a way to drive with no down payment -- or a lower one -- and smaller monthly payments than if they had purchased the vehicle.

Stony Brook podiatrist Dr. Rick Marotto and his schoolteacher wife, Kim, said that when they needed a new car, there was no question they'd lease it. "My wife and I like to update vehicles regularly," Marotto said. "I don't want to be bothered with any of the repairs and there's little maintenance with the lease." Kim drives the Kia Sedona minivan they recently leased from the Eagle Auto Mall in Riverhead and Rick drives a Kia Optima he leased two years ago.
