What is a podiatrist?

A podiatrist is a specialist in the care of feet and ankles.

They treat everything from common concerns like ingrown toenails or calluses to more complex conditions like diabetic foot care, which needs specialized attention to prevent complications.

  • Persistent foot or ankle pain.
  • Ingrown toenails or frequent infections.
  • Bothersome calluses or corns.
  • Foot wounds that won't heal (especially with diabetes).
  • Changes in foot shape or arch.
  • Skin or nail fungus that isn't improving.

  • Diabetic foot care
  • Skin and nail fungus
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Foot deformities (bunions, hammertoes)

What to expect at your first appointment

The podiatrist examines your feet, how you walk, and, if you have diabetes, sensation and circulation in your feet.

Depending on your case, they may recommend imaging or lab tests to complete the diagnosis.

Based on the result, they'll explain treatment, which may include in-office care, insoles, medication, or, if needed, a minor procedure.

Frequently asked questions

Why is podiatric care important if I have diabetes?

Diabetes can reduce sensation and circulation in the feet, so a small wound can worsen without you noticing in time; regular checkups help prevent that.

Do ingrown toenails always need surgery?

Not always; many cases resolve with conservative treatment. Surgery is reserved for recurring or very painful cases.

Is nail fungus easy to treat?

Treatment can take several months, since the nail needs to grow out healthy; your podiatrist will recommend the right option for your case based on severity.

When is a foot wound urgent?
If you have diabetes and notice a wound that isn't healing, changes color, or has a bad odor, seek evaluation as soon as possible — don't wait for it to get worse.
