Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I see a podiatrist?

Most healthy adults should see a podiatrist annually for preventive care. However, if you have diabetes, poor circulation, or chronic foot conditions, we recommend visits every 3-6 months.

Do you accept my insurance?

We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare. Contact our office to verify your specific coverage.

What should I bring to my appointment?

Please bring your insurance card, photo ID, list of current medications, and any relevant medical records. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes that you can easily remove.

How long does treatment take?

Treatment duration varies by condition. Many acute issues resolve in 1-3 visits, while chronic conditions may require ongoing care. We'll discuss your personalized treatment timeline during your consultation.
