A first visit lasts 30 to 45 minutes. The podiatrist will ask about your symptoms, medical history, footwear, and activity level. They will examine your feet, check sensation and circulation (especially important for diabetic patients), and may order X-rays (often available in the office). Treatment options range from conservative measures (orthotics, stretching, injections, padding) to surgical correction depending on the condition. Many podiatrists perform minor procedures (ingrown toenail removal, wart treatment) at the first visit.
New patient appointments can take two to four weeks for primary care. UMC Quick Care and MinuteClinic locations handle non-emergency visits if you need to be seen sooner. Always confirm in-network status, as narrow networks are common here.
