Answer

A podiatrist is a doctor who specializes in the foot. They are specifically trained, educated and experienced in foot care and foot health. Podiatrists receive training in biomechanics, radiography, sports medicine, pharmacology, dermatology, orthopedics, and surgery.  They are highly skilled in dealing with the foot, ankle and lower leg.  Common problems podiatrists see patients for include bunions, hammertoes, diabetic issues, corns, calluses, ingrown toenails, foot pain, plantar fasciitis, and more! To sum it up: podiatrists are usually the most highly qualified, experienced, and skilled doctors to treat your foot, ankle and lower leg pain or issues.
