Diabetics should see a podiatrist at least once or twice a year for routine foot examinations, even without symptoms, as diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation that increase infection and amputation risk.

Our podiatrists work closely with your primary care provider to create a personalized diabetic foot care schedule that protects your health and mobility.
