Whether your foot hurts, your ankle feels weak, or you just want a check-up, we are here to help. Our team, led by Dr. Kris A. DiNucci, is kind, skilled, and ready to care for you.
Let’s explore what podiatry means, what it costs, what insurance may cover, and why people trust us.
What Is Podiatry?
Podiatry is the care of your feet and ankles. A podiatrist is a foot doctor.
At our clinic, Dr. DiNucci is a Podiatric Foot and Ankle Surgeon. That means he can treat both small and serious foot problems.
We help people with:
-
Heel pain
-
Flat feet
-
Ingrown toenails
-
Sports injuries
-
Diabetic foot care
-
Bunions
-
Ankle sprains
-
Foot surgery
Foot care is not just for athletes or older adults. Everyone can benefit from seeing a podiatrist—kids, teens, adults, and seniors.

What Services Do We Offer?
We offer many helpful services at Podiatry Scottsdale AZ. Our team gives expert care in a clean and friendly place.
1. Full Exams and Diagnosis
We start with a gentle check-up. We look at how you walk, stand, and move. We may take X-rays or use ultrasound. Then, we explain what we see and how we can help.
2. Non-Surgical Treatments
We often use simple treatments first. These may include:
-
Custom shoe inserts
-
Physical therapy
-
Splints or braces
-
Ice, rest, and stretching
3. Surgery (When Needed)
If pain stays or worsens, surgery might be needed. Dr. DiNucci is trained to do many foot and ankle surgeries. He explains every step clearly.
“We only suggest surgery if it’s the best choice,” says Dr. DiNucci.
4. Diabetic Foot Care
People with diabetes need special foot care. We help prevent sores, infections, and ulcers. We also teach you how to care for your feet at home.
How Much Does It Cost?
Costs depend on the type of care you need. A simple visit may cost less than a test or surgery.
Here’s a general guide:
-
Basic visit: $100–$200
-
X-rays: $60–$150
-
Custom orthotics: $300–$600
-
Surgery: $1,000–$5,000 (or more)
We always explain costs before treatment. We want you to feel safe, informed, and ready to decide.
