Our two favorite providers at Beverly Hills Health. On the right is Dr. Katiraie, our primary care provider. On the left is Dr. Rasooli, our podiatrist.
What is the difference between a 🩺 primary care provider (P*P) and a 🦶🏻 podiatrist?
🩺A primary care provider (P*P) is a general healthcare practitioner who serves as the initial point of contact for patients seeking medical care. They focus on overall health and wellness, perform routine check-ups, offer preventive care, and diagnose and treat common illnesses. They may refer patients to specialists, including podiatrists, when necessary.
🦶🏻 A podiatrist is a medical professional who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions related to the foot, ankle, and lower extremities. Podiatrists can address various foot-related issues, including foot and ankle injuries, deformities, infections, and chronic conditions such as arthritis.
You can have the best of both at Beverly Hills Health! 🗓️ Schedule an appointment with us today.
