Podiatry by definition is the treatment of foot and ankle disorders. It is the only profession that is dedicated exclusively to foot and ankle health and wellness. Podiatrists (aka DPM, Doctors of Podiatric Medicine) are highly trained medical doctors who specialize in examining, diagnosing, and treating foot and ankle problems. The treatments provided at Dr. Harker’s clinic range from non-invasive shoe inserts and preventative diabetic foot care to surgical procedures.
