What is a Podiatrist?
A podiatrist, DPM, doctor of podiatric medicine, is the only health care professional whose total training focuses on the
foot, ankle and related body systems.
As a specialist in foot care, a podiatrist receives extensive training in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of foot
and ankle disorders by medical and surgical means. After obtaining an undergraduate degree, a podiatric doctor
spends four years in a college of podiatric medicine to obtain a doctorate degree.
Many podiatrists further their education by participating in a post-graduate residency program at an approved hospital
or university. Following their doctorate degree, each podiatrist must pass national and state examinations in order to be
licensed by the state in which he or she will practice.
A podiatric physician cares for people of all ages, treating any foot problem. The common disorders include bunions,
heel pain/spurs, hammertoes, neuromas, ingrown toenails, warts, corns and calluses. The podiatric physician also
renders care of sprains, fractures, infections, and injuries of the foot, ankle and heel.
If your podiatric surgeon is certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery, he or she has successfully completed a
credentialing and examination process and has demonstrated knowledge of podiatric surgery, including the diagnosis of
general medical problems and surgical management of foot diseases, deformities, and trauma of the foot, ankle and
related structures.
