For any foot or ankle issue, it’s best to see a podiatrist—a doctor who specializes exclusively in diagnosing and treating foot and ankle conditions. At Central Mass Podiatry, our podiatrists are trained to treat both urgent and chronic foot concerns, from injuries to diabetic foot care.

If your condition is not urgent, a scheduled appointment is more appropriate. Urgent care is not a substitute for missed follow-up visits. Non-urgent concerns, including nail fungus, callus treatment, future procedure consultations, prescription refills, and care for thickened toenails, must be addressed during a scheduled appointment.

No referral is required. You can call to schedule a same-day appointment.

Yes, most insurance plans cover podiatric urgent care visits. We accept a wide range of providers, except MassHealth. Please give us a call to confirm your plan.
