Diabetic Foot Care
At Southern Maryland Foot & Ankle, we understand the critical importance of proper diabetic foot care in maintaining the health and well-being of our patients. Diabetes can lead to severe complications, including neuropathy, infections, and in worst cases, limb loss. That’s why we provide comprehensive diabetic foot care services designed to monitor, manage, and treat these issues effectively for patients.
Why Diabetic Foot Care is Essential
People with diabetes face a higher risk of foot problems due to poor circulation, nerve damage (neuropathy), and the body’s reduced ability to heal. At Southern Maryland Foot & Ankle, we prioritize preventive care by closely monitoring your feet to catch potential issues before they escalate. Our expert team conducts thorough examinations, provides routine nail and wound care, and recommends the best footwear to prevent complications. Our in-office shoe store is a convenient resource, ensuring that you have access to shoes that promote foot health.

Why Choose Southern Maryland Foot & Ankle?
Diabetes affects millions of Americans, and it can lead to life-threatening infections and limb loss if not properly managed. Our team of specialists at Southern Maryland Foot & Ankle is committed to helping you mitigate these risks while preserving your quality of life. We understand that diabetic foot care is a crucial part of your overall health, and we work alongside your other healthcare providers to create a comprehensive care plan tailored to your unique needs.
Why is Diabetic Foot Care so Important?
Diabetic foot care is essential because patients with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing foot problems, such as neuropathy, ulcers, and infections, that can lead to serious complications, including amputation.
How Often Should I See a Specialist for Diabetic Food Care?
We recommend routine check-ups to monitor foot health, ideally every 3-6 months depending on your condition. Regular monitoring helps us catch problems early before they become severe.
Can You Help Me With Diabetic Footwear?
Yes, we offer a range of diabetic-friendly shoes at our in-office shoe store. Our specialists will recommend footwear designed to protect your feet and prevent complications.
What if I Don't Have Any Foot Problems Now?
Even if you’re not experiencing symptoms, preventive foot care is crucial. Many complications of diabetes develop gradually and may not be noticeable until they become serious.
Can You Coordinate Care with My Other Doctors?
Absolutely. We work closely with your primary care physician and any specialists you may have to ensure that your diabetic foot care fits seamlessly into your overall health plan.
