FAQ's
What is podiatry?

What conditions can podiatry help with?
Podiatry services address a wide range of foot and ankle concerns, including heel pain, bunions, hammertoes, sports-related injuries, wounds, infections, and conditions related to diabetes, circulation, or nerve health. Care may also include evaluation of gait issues and structural concerns affecting mobility.
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?
Referral requirements depend on your insurance plan. Some plans allow patients to schedule directly, while others may require a referral from a primary care provider. Our care team can help answer questions about referrals and scheduling.

During your visit, the podiatrist will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and examine your foot or ankle. Imaging or diagnostic tests may be recommended if needed. Based on the evaluation, your provider will discuss treatment options and next steps.
Are treatments always surgical?
