Podiatry

What is podiatry?

Podiatry is a medical subspecialty that diagnoses and treats foot and ankle problems. Podiatrists like Dr. Bingham have years of specialized training. They graduate from a podiatry-focused medical school and complete several years of specialized residency training.

At Evolve Foot & Woundcare, Dr. Bingham offers lab testing and diagnostic imaging; noninvasive treatments, like custom orthotics and prescription medication; and foot and ankle surgery, when needed. 

Where is there a foot doctor near me?

Evolve Foot & Woundcare is located near Danbury Hospital on 27 Hospital Avenue. Dr. Bingham diagnoses and treats most foot and ankle conditions onsite, but the proximity to Danbury Hospital allows her to refer patients next door for X-rays, diagnostic tests, and foot and ankle surgery.

What happens during a podiatry visit?

At Evolve Foot & Woundcare, a podiatry visit begins with reviewing your medical records and discussing your symptoms. Dr. Bingham asks about the reason for your visit and quizzes you about your lifestyle, including how often you exercise, what type of shoes you wear, and if you smoke or drink.

Next, she assesses how you stand and walk, checks how your shoes fit, and has you perform a series of exercises to observe your joints’ range of motion. If you need X-rays or other specialized tests, Dr. Bingham refers you to Danbury Hospital just down the road. 

After making a diagnosis, Dr. Bingham develops a personalized treatment plan. When possible, she prescribes noninvasive measures, like custom orthotics, physical therapy, and footwear changes. If your symptoms continue or worsen, Dr. Bingham might recommend interventional pain injections, minimally invasive surgery, or traditional foot and ankle surgery. 

No matter your needs, Dr. Bingham’s goal is always the same: to relieve uncomfortable symptoms and help you return to your favorite activities.
