Why a podiatrist?

The foot and ankle is complex and deserves a focused specialist. For your foot pain, you need the best, a DPM- Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. Podiatric medical education requires a full 4 years of medical school following the typical 4 years of undergraduate college pre-med study. 4 years of graduate medical school — the same time frame as any MD or DO. However, for a DPM, the last 2 years of medical school is focused on the foot and ankle. Then follow several additional years of foot and ankle surgical residency training. There is no more qualified specialist for the foot and ankle than a podiatrist. Dr. Ploot is a highly trained podiatric physician with extensive practice experience.
