The Role of a Podiatrist

Podiatrists provide patients – from pediatrics to geriatrics — with a wide range of services from treating acute injuries to monitoring and preventing complications of chronic conditions. They also care for common skin concerns such as athlete’s foot, calluses, corns, and warts as well as ingrown toenails and toenail fungus.

As part of your complete podiatric care, your BASS podiatrist can order tests, make diagnoses, prescribe medications, perform surgery, collaborate with other specialists, provide splints and casts, treat infections and wounds, assess children’s and teens’ special foot and leg needs (providing braces, shoe and sports medicine recommendations, as needed), craft custom orthotics for athletics or comfort, recommend physical therapy, and much more.
