Diabetic Therapeutic Shoes

Medicare as well as many private insurance companies have recognized the need for proper Diabetic footwear to avoid foot complications that might result in skin irritations & ulcerations that can possibly end up with disastrous sequella in the form of amputation &/or loss of limb. According to the American Diabetes Association, there are over 36 million Americans with diabetes. Unfortunately, this number continues to grow. Twenty-five percent of persons with diabetes develop foot problems related to the disease.

Our Doctors are trained to recognize the need for these shoes & the criteria that must be met by Medicare and the private insurers to get you, the patient, qualified for these special shoes. After that process, our trained Diabetic shoe specialists will measure /cast you for the proper shoes & /or inserts that are covered under your program. Of course, even if not covered by your insurance, these services are still available to you & our shoe specialists can discuss your financial responsibility at your evaluation visit since you must be an active patient in our practice to avail yourself of these special services.
