About Podiatry On Call

Podiatry On Call was founded with a clear purpose: to bridge the gap in podiatric care for older adults who face challenges traveling to a traditional medical office. For many seniors, routine foot care isn’t just about comfort—it’s a vital part of maintaining mobility, independence, and overall health. We specialize exclusively in geriatric podiatry, delivering expert in-home care tailored to the unique needs of older adults. Our licensed, board-certified podiatrists combine clinical excellence with a warm, respectful approach—ensuring every visit is as compassionate as it is thorough.

At Podiatry On Call, we believe healthcare should come to the patient—not the other way around. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to provide high-quality, accessible podiatric care directly in the home, meeting patients where they are—both physically and personally.
