A Podiatrist Treats the Foot, Ankle, and Connecting Parts of the Leg
A visit to the podiatrist is best if you have foot and ankle issues. Podiatrists are specialists who treat people of all ages for a range of general foot conditions. They can safely remove hard skin on your feet, clip your toenails correctly, or tell you what shoes are best for your feet.
