Our podiatrists maintain high levels of accreditation and pursue continuing education to stay at the top of the field.

A number of the doctors have also lectured at medical conferences around the country, using their expertise to participate in the ongoing effort to educate others and improve today’s foot and ankle treatments.

Our Staff: Podiatric Medical Assistants

At Martin Foot and Ankle, we have high standards for quality of care. We believe that the best way to foster successful healing in the feet and ankles is to establish a real relationship with each individual who visits our practice, so that the doctors and the patients are able to work together to find the best treatments for a full recovery. A key aspect of our ability to do this is maintaining an experienced professional support staff that aids the doctors in serving you. Whether it’s answering the phone, booking an appointment, developing X-rays, or re-bandaging a surgery wound, our staff is dedicated to serving you with the utmost care and making it easier for the doctors to treat you efficiently.

Experienced Professionals

Podiatric medical assistants are trained to aid licensed podiatrists and serve patients in a practice setting. They complete academic and clinical training to receive a certification through the American Society of Podiatric Medical Assistants. Every state has different requirements for performing various services, so we make sure our staff participate in continuing education and maintain certifications according to Pennsylvania standards, including the X-ray training and certificate.

Although there is currently no formal education course for podiatric medical assistants, local, state, regional, and national seminars help them stay at the forefront of the field and learn new techniques to better serve you and everyone who visits Martin Foot and Ankle. They, along with the doctors, continue to learn and investigate medical advances so that they can offer you the most up-to-date information about treatment practices and answer any concerns you may have about your lower limbs.

Indispensable Assistance

To be able to focus on evaluating and treating you to the best of their abilities, the doctors cannot do absolutely everything within the practice. It would be impossible for them to answer all the phones, run all the medical tests, and still provide you with excellent care—their attention would be too divided. That is where our experienced staff offers their service. They allow the doctors to focus on your needs so that you receive the best care possible.

Podiatric medical assistants perform a wide variety of duties. Their tasks may range from surgical assisting or chairside assisting to office business procedures, depending on their training and certifications. This can include exposing and developing X-rays, aiding in biomechanical evaluations, sterilizing medical instruments and equipment, providing post-operative instructions, and recording patient histories. They may also redress surgical wounds, help pad and strap feet, and otherwise prepare the patient for the doctors’ treatments. The front desk staff performs more office-based jobs by answering phones, maintaining the appointment schedule, handling insurance information and forms, processing the billing, and accepting payment, as well as any other book-keeping procedures that take place to efficiently run a practice.
