Will I need to have a referral to see a podiatrist in Austell?

It isn't required on our end but many insurance providers require them before they will cover the cost of your visits or treatment. Verify the requirements for seeing a specialist with your insurance provider.

Is podiatry treatment actually worth the cost?

We certainly think so! In fact, the value of our work is what drew us to it in the first place. Foot and ankle pain can be debilitating, and we want you to live your best life. There is a good chance that podiatry services can help make that happen.

Do podiatrists offer services that are different than what my general doctor can offer?

100%. General doctors know a lot about the body in general, but they aren't foot and ankle specialists. With so much nuance and intricacy in the feet and ankles, if you want the best possible treatment, you have to go to the experts—and those are podiatrists.

Can a podiatrist treat toenail fungus?

We sure can! Usually, we do this using topical or oral medications, and in severe cases, a combination of both. We tailor our approach based on the type of fungus you have, how extensive it is, and any other health conditions you might have.
