Family Podiatry Associates was opened in 1989, and has been growing ever since. The office recently expanded and built a fully operational O.R. suite for out patient surgical procedures. Dr. Lattarulo's hospital affiliations include Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan, as well as Phelps Memorial Hospital in Tarrytown. He considers Phelps Memorial Hospital his "main" hospital for Podiatric medical admissions as well as for in patient and out patient surgery.

While a large part of the practice is surgical in nature, Podiatric Medicine in general also encompasses a great deal of what's considered "Routine Foot Care"- (the cutting of corns, calluses, ingrown nails, warts, etc.). Dr. Lattarulo learned that part of his practice from his father, who has been in practice since 1952 when that's all Podiatrists were allowed, by law, to do. There is no substitute for almost 50 years of practical application. Dr. Emil Lattarulo's father was also a Physician (an Obstetrician), so Dr. Frank Lattarulo is a 3rd generation doctor. Medicine has always been in the family and that is one reason he takes so much pride in his work.
