Choosing a Foot Doctor

Choosing a Foot Doctor

This helpful guide will make shopping for a Sterling, VA, foot doctor easier.

We know that finding the right foot doctor is an important decision, and there are many things you’ll need to consider before saying “yes.” Our Sterling, VA, foot doctors, Dr. Richard Lee and Dr. Steven Lin, want to ensure you have all the information you need to make the most informed decision regarding your foot health. Here are some questions to ask yourself when finding your ideal foot doctor.

Do They Offer the Services You Need?

Apart from your podiatrist’s credentials and experience, this is the most important thing to consider when choosing a foot doctor. Consider any preexisting health problems you may have before choosing your podiatrist. For example, we are a full-service podiatry practice serving the Sterling, VA, area, but we also specialize in diabetic feet, geriatric feet, fungal nail infections, custom orthotics and wound care. We offer the latest technologies and techniques, including laser treatment for toenail fungus.

How Close is the Podiatry Practice for Your Home?

This is another essential factor to consider when shopping for your perfect foot doctor. Think about your current commute to and from work and make a goal of how close you’d like your podiatrist to be (or the maximum amount of time you’d want to drive to see a quality podiatrist). We know that convenience is important for our patients, and we want to provide care to as many people as possible, which is why our foot doctors have locations in Sterling and Alexandria, VA.

What Do Others Have to Say?

While recommendations from family and friends often come highly regarded, if you don’t know anyone who goes to a podiatrist, then you may want to turn to the Internet for help. Google reviews, Facebook and Yelp, offer reviews from patients. If you look at our reviews, you’ll see they are great.

What Are Their Hours of Operation

Booking an appointment with your podiatrist shouldn’t be a hassle, and you shouldn’t have to stress about taking time off work. Your podiatrist’s front desk should work with you to find the ideal time for your appointment. Here at Alexandria Family Podiatry, we are open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 am-5:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday, we’re open from 10 am-3:30 pm. For individuals who can’t take time off work to come into our office, we also offer appointments from 8 am-12 pm on Saturdays. Whether you want to come in before work, during your lunch break, or on the weekend, we have appointments just for you.
