About Sara Yancovitz, DPM, AACFAS

  • Dr. Yancovitz grew up in New York City. When she is not working, she is typically spending time with her husband, traveling, or cooking. Dr. Yancovitz enjoys spending time outdoors – bicycling, hiking, and swimming. She particularly enjoys going to live music shows and the vibrant music scene in Austin. Among her favorite local spots are South Congress Avenue (SoCo) and Lady Bird Lake.

I chose podiatry because I enjoy helping people get back on their feet and improving their quality of life. As a lifelong competitive athlete and former professional cyclist, I have endured many foot and ankle injuries, and I understand the challenges associated with disability. I understand both the physical and mental toll associated with lower extremity injuries, and I enjoy providing the necessary medical care and support for expedient recovery and return to activity and/or sport. I believe that the best practice in medicine involves individualizing a treatment plan specific to each patient to fit their needs and lifestyle. I have a profound focus on patient education and strive to provide optimal care utilizing the latest evidence-based medicine.

    Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Dr. Yancovitz was kind and knowledgeable. My husband also has seen her and we both recommend her to family and friends.

  • October 8, 2024

    It was nice to see someone who was not rushing.

  • October 4, 2024

    I really appreciate Dr. Y. She had great bedside manner and is great at explaining everything. She listens when I say I’m in pain and she finds a solution. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a podiatrist.

  • October 2, 2024

    The visit was quick but not rushed. Every staff member was kind. Dr. Yancovitz is great - I feel she genuinely cares about my progress. She answered all of my questions and mapped out a plan for the rest of the healing process so I know what to expect. I’m thankful for Dr. Yancovitz and her team.

  • October 2, 2024

    Initially, I didn’t know that I was in the wrong building for my appointment. There was a question I forgot to ask. Didn’t talk to the doctor very long.

  • October 2, 2024

    The experience was very smooth and professional. I would recommend Dr Y to anyone!
