As your primary healthcare provider, Dr. Reddy offers expert diagnosis and management for a wide range of common health conditions. Common areas of focus include:
- Ankle Sprain: An ankle sprain is an injury to the ligaments around your ankle joint, often caused by twisting or rolling your foot, and a podiatrist can diagnose it and recommend treatment like rest, ice, and physical therapy.
- Foot Infection: Foot infections can range from minor to severe, and a podiatrist provides care from simple treatments to advanced surgical procedures if necessary.
- Plantar Wart: A plantar wart is a common, small, hard growth on the sole of your foot caused by a virus, and a podiatrist can help remove it.
- Nail and Nail Bed Infection: A podiatrist treats infections affecting your toenails and the skin underneath, offering solutions like antibiotics or minor surgery to remove infected tissue.
- Rupture of Achilles Tendon: Podiatrists treat a ruptured Achilles tendon, which is a painful tear in the tendon connecting your calf muscles to your heel, often requiring specialized care and rehabilitation.

Here are answers to some common questions about receiving Podiatric care with Dr. Reddy:
- What is the difference between a Podiatrist and an Orthopedic Surgeon?
- Dr. Reddy is a podiatrist (DPM), specializing in the medical and surgical care of the foot and ankle. Orthopedic surgeons (MD/DO) treat the entire musculoskeletal system, but some may have additional training in foot and ankle care. Dr. Reddy's entire training is focused on the foot and ankle.
- Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist?
- To see Dr. Reddy, you may not need a referral. Many insurance plans, like PPOs, allow direct appointments. However, some plans, such as HMOs, require a referral from your primary care physician. Call your insurance provider to confirm your specific plan's requirements.
- What are custom orthotics and how are they different from store-bought insoles?
- Custom orthotics, prescribed by Dr. Reddy, are medical devices made from a precise mold of your feet. They are designed to correct specific biomechanical issues and provide support exactly where it's needed, unlike generic, cushioned store-bought insoles.
- Do all bunions require surgery?
- Not at all. Many bunions can be managed without surgery. Dr. Reddy focuses first on conservative treatments to relieve pain and pressure, such as recommending wider shoes, padding, and custom orthotics. Surgery is typically reserved for cases where pain is severe and significantly limits daily activities.
- My child's feet point inward when they walk. Is this a problem?
- In-toeing is quite common in young children and often resolves on its own. However, if your child's in-toeing is severe, persistent, or causing tripping, Dr. Reddy can evaluate their gait and bone structure to determine if any intervention, like stretching or special footwear, is necessary.
- What causes heel pain, and how do you treat it?
- The most frequent cause of heel pain is plantar fasciitis, inflammation of the thick band of tissue on the bottom of the foot. Dr. Reddy typically starts with conservative treatments like stretching, icing, supportive shoes, and custom orthotics. Other options are available if these methods don't provide relief.
- I have diabetes. Why is it so important for me to see a podiatrist?
- Dr. Reddy emphasizes the importance of regular podiatric care for people with diabetes. Diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor circulation, making even minor foot injuries risky. Regular checkups are crucial to prevent complications, manage foot health, and avoid potential amputations.
- What's the best way to treat an ingrown toenail?
- Dr. Reddy advises against attempting to treat an ingrown toenail at home. DIY procedures can worsen the problem or cause infection. A podiatrist can safely and effectively remove the ingrown portion of the nail in the office, often with a simple procedure under local anesthesia. For recurring problems, a portion of the nail root can be permanently removed.
