FAQ

It depends. You typically do not need a referral to see a Podiatrist. Medicare and PPO type plans never require a referral. However, HMO type plans almost always require a referral. Podiatrists are regarded as specialists, so if your insurance company requires a referral to see a specialist, then you will need to get a referral from your primary care doctor. Just let them know you have a foot and ankle problem, and that you want to see a podiatrist. We are on most insurance plans, however if you are not sure, please call the office and we will verify what your insurance requires. If you have any concerns about your feet and/or ankles or you’re just after some advice, call our office today.

With five podiatrists, a pedorthist, and five locations, we can typically offer appointments within 24 hours and we offer immediate care for medical emergencies.

Atlantic Foot and Ankle is affiliated with most insurances and Medicare. We accept Medicaid only as a secondary form of insurance. We would recommend that you call the number on the back of your insurance care to confirm your benefits before your appointment. As a courtesy to all our patients, we have experienced insurance verifiers on staff that can check your benefits for you.

We are associated with St. Joseph’s/Chandler, Memorial, and East Georgia Regional Medical Hospitals.

While orthotic devices can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years, it is recommended that you get a biomechanical exam every 2 years to assure your orthotics are still doing the best job at supporting your feet. As we age our body goes through natural changes, like the tightening of ligaments, which can change the structure of the foot, this is why it is a good idea to periodically have you feet and orthotics evaluated.

You should see a podiatrist if you have foot or ankle problems. Both podiatrists and orthopedists take care of problems dealing with the bones. The difference between the two is that the orthopedic surgeon treats all the bones of the human body and the podiatrist specializes in the bones of the foot and ankle. For example, you have two mechanics, one specialize in tires and the other specialize in transmissions. You have a problem with your transmission, now even though both are mechanics and have been trained as such, you are not going to take your car to the tire guy, you’re going to take it to the guy that works on transmissions all day every day. It’s the same when it comes to your feet and ankles. You want someone that looks at feet and ankles all day, every day. A podiatrist sees and treats feet and ankles, all day, every day.
