What New Patients Should Know Before Visiting Manalapan Foot and Ankle
Updated
Manalapan Foot and Ankle is a podiatry practice in Manalapan, NJ (07726), led by Dr. Charles G. Marchese, who has been in private practice for 39 years. New patients should know three things before booking: appointments are made by phone or through an online request form, the practice treats the entire family (including pediatric foot care), and Dr. Marchese now sees patients exclusively at the Manalapan office after closing his Brooklyn and Staten Island locations. If you have a specific concern, you can call the office at (732) 845-0100 before your visit to ask about it.
Who the practice is and where it operates
The office focuses on the diagnosis, medical treatment, and surgical treatment of disorders affecting the foot, ankle, and lower leg. Dr. Marchese maintains his private practice in Manalapan, NJ.
One change matters for returning patients and anyone who knew the practice from New York: the Brooklyn and Staten Island locations have closed. In his own statement on the site, Dr. Marchese notes he spent 28 years in private practice at those locations and is now exclusively in the Manalapan office. If you previously saw him in Brooklyn or Staten Island, your care now continues in New Jersey.
Office address: 145 Route 33 East, Manalapan, NJ 07726

Conditions the practice treats
The site lists the following services, which gives you a sense of whether your concern fits before you book:
| Category | Specific services listed |
|---|---|
| Pain and inflammation | Foot and ankle pain, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, arthritis |
| Structural issues | Bunions, hammertoes, flat feet, corns, calluses, neuromas |
| Skin and nails | Ingrown toenails, fungal toenails / foot dermatology, plantar warts |
| Specialized care | Diabetic foot and wound care, sports injuries, pediatric foot care |
| Support and surgery | Orthotics, arch supports, foot surgery |
The practice describes itself as providing treatment for the entire family, so pediatric foot care is part of what's offered — relevant if you're booking for a child rather than yourself.
How to book an appointment
Two routes are available:
- Call the office at (732) 845-0100. This is the fastest option if you want to ask questions about insurance, availability, or a specific condition at the same time.
- Submit an online appointment request through the website's "Request Appointment" option. The site also has a "New Patients" section, which is the place to check for any intake details the practice wants you to review.
The site does not publish its scheduling hours, insurance list, or new-patient paperwork online, so those details are best confirmed by phone. The site also invites patients to ask questions on Facebook or leave a review on Google, but those are not booking channels.
What to confirm before your first visit
Because the website doesn't spell out every logistical detail, a short call before your appointment can save a wasted trip. Worth asking:
- Whether the practice accepts your insurance plan
- What to bring to a first appointment (referral, imaging, medication list)
- Whether your specific concern needs any preparation beforehand
- Current office hours and wait times for new patients
If you're unsure whether your foot or ankle issue is something this practice handles, the service list above is a reasonable first check — and the phone line is the direct way to confirm it.
