Livingston Foot Care Specialists celebrated their 45th anniversary last week at the same location they've been since their inception in 1965.
Last Thursday the family came together with the generations of patients, along with Legislator Dave Denenberg, Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray, Town Clerk Mark Bonilla and Councilman Gary Hudes to celebrate their milestone at the official ribbon cutting ceremony presented by the Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores. Such a large crowd attended the festivities that valet parking was available.'
Located on Newbridge Road, Dr. Leon Livingston started his trade in Bellmore and followed by starting his family in the same location. Now Leon's son, Douglas Livingston, is following in his father's footsteps and works to carry on the Livingston name in podiatry. The building that holds their business once was the home that Douglas grew up in, but as the business evolved, the family made the decision to make the entire house their office.
The Foot Care Specialists have grown to include over 20 podiatry assistants/technicians, and have added three more doctors. Dr. Joel Kelly, Dr. Joseph Alencherry and Dr. Melissa Milza have all become a part of the Livingston family.
After cutting the congratulatory cake, Dr. Leon made a speech. First, Dr. Livingston thanked his son Douglas, who "represents our positive future."
"I am so glad to have him standing beside me," he said.
Dr. Livingston then thanked his staff, Douglas' fiancée, Jennifer, who planned the entire event, and his office manager and wife of more than 4o years.
A true testament to their dedication to their patients, Doctors Leon and Douglas proceeded to hold appointments after the celebration.
