What is a DPM?

DPM stands for Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. DPMs are medical professionals who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and related structures of the leg. They are trained to perform surgery, prescribe medications, and provide physical therapy, among other treatments. DPMs often work in private practices, hospitals, or clinics, and may collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive patient care.
