What Is Podiatrist?

A podiatrist, also known as a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), is a medical specialist focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and related structures of the leg.

Podiatrists are licensed physicians who complete medical training, a doctoral program in podiatric medicine, and national and state board exams.

Foot disorders are among the most widespread and neglected health problems affecting people in this country.

Typically, podiatrists:

Consult with the patient and other physicians on how to prevent foot problems.
Diagnose and treat tumors, ulcers, fractures, skin and nail diseases, and deformities.
Perform surgeries to correct or remedy such problems as bunions, claw toes, fractures, hammertoes, infections, ruptured Achilles, and other ligaments and tendons.
Prescribe therapies and perform diagnostic procedures such as ultrasound and lab tests.
Treat conditions such as bone disorders, bunions, corns, calluses, cysts, heel spurs, infections, ingrown nails, and plantar fasciitis.
We will evaluate for the need of custom orthotics, braces, or prosthetics and order and prescribe for them.
