When should I see a doctor for foot and ankle problems?
If you have visited your primary doctor for a foot or ankle concern, he or she might have already suggested that you see a podiatrist in your area to correct the issue. However, you might notice certain changes on your own that warrant attention.
In general, you should contact our office if you notice any changes to the appearance of your feet (including your toenails) or if you are in any sort of pain or discomfort.
What does a consultation entail?
A consultation is your first step when visiting Dr. Salma Aziz, a foot doctor in Rancho Santa Margarita. This visit allows the doctor to take a look at whatever foot or ankle condition that you are experiencing, and then help you decide on the best possible treatment plan.
During your consultation, Dr. Aziz will ask a lot of questions about your medical history and about your current pain, such as when it started, how intense it is, and which activities make it worse or better. You might also need some further diagnostic tests, such as x-rays, in order to determine exactly what is going on.

Do you offer non-invasive treatments?
