Where to Start
When you’re looking for a podiatrist, there are a few resources you should tap into. You might start with your primary care physician or family doctor, who is usually ripe with specialist recommendations. Two fantastic online resources include the American Board of Podiatric Medicine and the American Podiatric Medical Association. Both have tools that can help you find a podiatrist in your area.
Another extremely helpful resource to consider is your insurance company. Depending on your insurance, you may have to see certain podiatrists that participate in your plan. Your insurance company should be able to provide a list of podiatrists to choose from. If you choose to see a podiatrist that is outside of your insurance plan, you’ll probably have to pay out of pocket for it. The last thing you want is a surprise bill in the mail. Check with your insurance company first to avoid a snafu.
