What is an ankle and foot doctor called?

An ankle and foot doctor is called a podiatrist, also known as a foot and ankle specialist. Podiatrists specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the musculoskeletal, vascular, neurological and dermatological systems of the feet, ankles and lower legs.

Podiatrists treat everything from common issues like plantar fasciitis to more complex conditions such as fractures, Achilles tendonitis and diabetic foot complications.

Is it better to go to a podiatrist or orthopedist?

It depends on your condition. Podiatrists focus on treating foot, ankle and lower leg issues, while orthopedists treat the entire musculoskeletal system.

For complex fractures or joint replacements, an orthopedist may be the right choice. However, if you’re dealing with chronic foot problems like bunions, heel pain or diabetic foot ulcers, a podiatrist is often the best choice.
