Podiatry

At SSM Health, our podiatry specialists (podiatrists) are here to take care of your foot and ankle needs. We treat both adults and children, and specialize in geriatric and diabetic foot care. Our podiatrists, also known as Doctors of Podiatric Medicine (DPM), have specialized training in surgery and treatment of the lower extremities.

Eighty percent of Americans will suffer from some sort of foot or ankle pain during their lives. Since the feet and ankles are the body’s foundation, problems with the foundation can cause problems throughout the body. Schedule an appointment with an SSM Health podiatrist today, so we can help you identify the source of your pain and get started with a treatment plan that brings you relief.
