When should you visit a podiatrist?

Podiatrists are doctors that specialize in treating conditions of the feet and ankles. You may consider visiting a podiatrist if you have:

  • Foot or ankle pain
  • Foot or ankle swelling
  • Numbness or tingling in the feet
  • Open sores or wounds of the feet
  • Toenail problems
  • Gout or arthritis affecting the feet or ankles
  • Flat feet
  • Diabetes
  • Any injury of the foot or ankle
  • Bunions or corns
  • Calluses
  • Warts on the feet

What can I expect at a podiatrist exam?

During a podiatry exam, you can expect a thorough evaluation of your feet and ankles. The specialist will inspect your toenails and skin. They may watch you walk to see if foot problems affect how you move.

What happens at your first podiatrist appointment?

At your first appointment with a podiatrist, you’ll be asked questions about:

  • Your medical history
  • Any past surgeries
  • Symptoms you are experiencing
  • Family history
  • Health habits and activities you participate in

The podiatrist will examine your feet and lower legs. They’ll be looking at the shape of your feet and nails, blood flow and circulation, feeling, sensation, strength, and any areas of concern. After the examination, the podiatrist may recommend further testing like x-rays and a treatment plan.

How do I prepare for a podiatrist visit?

To prepare for your podiatry visit, make sure you bring a list of your medications, past medical history, and a record of any surgeries you’ve had. You’ll want to wear or bring shoes that you usually wear when walking or exercising. Bringing a list of questions you have and the symptoms you are experiencing will help the podiatrist take care of you.

How much does a podiatrist charge for a visit?

Podiatry visits are covered by most health insurance. If your policy does not cover a podiatrist, you’ll want to ask for a cash pay price quote. On average, a podiatry visit will cost between $50 to $300 per visit. The range will vary, depending on if treatments are done at the visit.

Is ingrown toenail surgery covered by insurance?

Most insurances will cover surgery to treat an ingrown toenail. You’ll want to check with your insurance plan to see if they cover the treatment before you visit a podiatrist.
