A podiatrist, or foot doctor, is a medical specialist trained to diagnose and treat conditions of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. The purpose of the work is keeping patients mobile, active, and out of pain.

Foot or ankle pain that persists is reason enough, as is difficulty walking, a change in your nails or skin, or an injury that has not settled with rest. Any of these is worth having a foot doctor look at rather than waiting it out.
Yes, patients of every age, from children with developmental foot problems through to adults managing chronic or age-related conditions.
Yes, and it is among the most important parts of the work. Managing neuropathy, preventing and catching ulcers early, and monitoring circulation all reduce the risk of the serious complications diabetes causes in the feet.
Yes. Podiatrists are trained in both surgical and non-surgical treatment, with surgery generally kept for cases where conservative measures have been tried without success.
A podiatrist trains exclusively in the foot and ankle. An orthopedist covers the whole musculoskeletal system, of which the foot is one part. The two often work alongside each other when a patient needs both.
Usually not. Most patients book directly with a foot doctor without going through another physician. Insurance plans vary on this, so it is worth checking yours before the appointment.
