Orthopedic F;A doc: I am biased, as a fellowship-trained foot and ankle orthopedic surgeon, but an orthopedic surgeon can give a more comprehensive evaluation. Most foot and ankle abnormalities may result in problems in another area or may be caused by a problem in another part of the body. As such, it's more "one stop shopping" with an orthopedic surgeon. A podiatrist has a limited license to practice medicine.
