Podiatry

The Podiatry Department at Kaiser Permanente Orange County specializes in foot pathologies, diagnosis, and treatment, such as conservative care and foot surgeries. Our department performs extensive evaluation of the foot, and each individual’s anatomy and foot structure, with use of orthotics to correct common foot malalignments conservatively. Podiatry also specializes in Diabetic foot care, Diabetic Wound Care, and Limb Preservation. If all conservative options have been attempted, and if patient feels they need further intervention, then foot surgery can be discussed to further treat the pathologies of the foot. Once the Podiatry Department receives your referral, a physician will review your referral and decide if you are a candidate for Podiatric care, or if you need further follow-up before booking an appointment with our clinic. Please allow up to seven business days for the referral to be assessed. Once the referral has been approved, we will call you to schedule an appointment.
