Choosing the Right Foot and Ankle Surgeon

Choosing the Right Foot and Ankle Surgeon

Prestige Podiatry has many years of experience helping Indiana residents manage foot-related problems. For example, Dr. Jeffrey Agricola is a respected foot and ankle surgeon serving Carmel and Indianapolis, IN, to provide treatment to help you. When choosing a foot and ankle specialist like our team, it’s important to pay close attention to a variety of factors to make the smartest choice.

Pay Attention to Your Insurance

 Check out your insurance options and see what kind of therapies they cover for your feet and ankles. Furthermore, make sure that the doctors you check out take your insurance type and that it’s in your specific coverage zone. These factors can vary heavily, so talk with your foot and ankle doctor about this situation in-depth and let your insurance provider know what to expect.

Know Their Specialty 

 At Prestige Podiatry, Dr. Agricola is a foot and ankle surgeon who provides Indianapolis, IN residents with treatment for many specialized issues. For example, we can help with bunions and bunion treatments, handle heel pain, remove fungal infections, and even provide some laser therapies. Look for specialties like these when seeking out a foot and ankle specialist.

Ask Questions When You Can 

 Call up each doctor you’re interested in working with and ask them in-depth questions about their services. It’s important to go into detail here because even a great specialist might not be right for you based on many factors. Here are a few things you should ask before treatment:

  • What kind of problems do you treat? Can you help with my specific issues?
  • Which types of therapies do you use for your patients? Explain them to me.
  • Are you properly licensed and certified? Can you show them to me before we start?
  • Do you have any reviews or references you can share with me to help me decide?

Choose Based on Quality 

 Lastly, while it’s important to feel comfortable with your foot and ankle specialist, always choose based on quality. You might get along with a less-talented specialist better than a next-level expert. In this situation, go with the best possible expert. Sure, you might not chat about fishing as much as you would with the other doctor. But at least your feet will be in great hands.
