Specialty Care
Podiatry
Care for your feet and ankles at Rockwell lives inside your primary care home, not at the end of an outside referral. Your podiatrist and your primary care team share one record and one plan, so the people looking after your feet already know the rest of your health.

The Rockwell difference
Connected to your primary care
The point of podiatry at Rockwell is not only that it is here. It is that it works with the rest of your care instead of apart from it.
Your podiatrist is a colleague down the hall from your primary care provider, working from the same record toward the same plan.
- An in-house referral
- When your primary care provider thinks you should see a podiatrist, they connect you to one of ours, not a stranger across the city with a long waiting list.
- One record, one plan
- Your podiatrist and your primary care team work from the same shared record, so your foot care builds on what they already know about you.
- Results that flow back
- Findings, notes, and next steps return to your everyday care, so your provider can act on them and nothing falls between visits.
What to expect

When your provider may refer you and what tends to follow. Every visit is shaped around you, so the details can vary.

Your provider refers you
During a regular visit, your primary care provider may suggest a podiatry evaluation based on your symptoms, history, or routine results.
-
You meet your podiatrist
You see one of our podiatrists, who already has your shared record and reviews your foot and ankle health with you in plain language.
-
Your care stays joined up
Any plan is shared back with your primary care team, who help you follow it and keep your overall care moving in one direction.
