Dealing with arch pain? No matter whether you are on your feet all day for work or you are training for a marathon if you are working your feet day in and day out then chances are good that you may notice aching, pain in the arches of your feet. The arches of your feet are incredibly important, as they help your feet support the weight of your body when standing or in motion.
Diabetic-related foot complications are incredibly common. From numbness and nerve damage to diabetic ulcers, it's important that you have a podiatrist that can provide you with care when you need it and answers when it matters. Here at Emerald Coast Podiatry, Dr. Cosimo Ricciardi and his team have worked with many patients living with diabetes.
Feet put in a lot of work for the body - keeping it stable and in motion, absorbing the stress and impact, bearing weight. For these reasons, they require specialized care to keep them healthy. A foot doctor, also known as a podiatrist, is a physician whose profession is examining, identifying and treating diseases and problems originating in the feet and ankles.

I came in for the first time today as we just moved to the area. I noticed that the waiting area was quite busy and thought I would have to wait a long time. Not the case, their friendly staff called me in within 10 minutes!! I Met with Dr. Riccardi and he was extremely knowledgeable and spent a good amount of time with me understanding my concerns and then he gave me options. A well run office, great doctor, and friendly staff!!

Not going to lie, my husband and I were skeptical about going to the doctor for his ankle but when we got to the office, the staff was friendly, time efficient, straight to the point, and cost friendly as well for those without insurance. I have zero complaints and Ricciardi is one of the best doctors that I've met.

Dr. RICCIARDI and his staff always go above and beyond. I haven't seen the good Dr. in some however he still remembers me and my family. I am grateful for him and his staff. The staff should also be thanked for going above and beyond with their product knowledge and assistance with my foot wear needs. I will glady refer and recommend his services for any and all Poditry needs.
Thanks...

All I can say is WOW!!!! I’ve been going to the same Podiatrist for more than 5 years but the pain in my right foot just wasn’t getting any better. After being told “you’ll get use to it” I decided to try a different podiatrist for my foot pain. I read reviews and decided to try Emerald Coast Podiatry; definitely the BEST decision I could have made. My problem isn’t fixed because I would need surgery for that but I can tell you I am pain free now because I believed what the Dr told me and tried their orthotic inserts; my right foot is pain free now. The service from the office staff

The comfort zone encompassed me from making an appointment to procedures performed by Doctor Ricciardi and his staff. Time was taken to thoroughly evaluate the issue and educate me on the options. The admin staff treated me like I was the only patient processing in or out; I was never second to a phone call ever. Overall, this is a great group of medical experts with high level regard for care individuals. I would certainly recommend Emerald Coast Podiatry to
anyone needing foot CARE. It's truly a comfort zone.

Absolutely the best! Most professional, friendly, and knowledgeable podiatrist in Florida by far. The staff were all fantastic and friendly. Dr Ricciardi is amazing. I had a severed tendon that was previously repaired but I had no range of motion whatsoever. I thought I’d be handicapped for life. Dr Ricciardi gave me several options and explained them all in depth. I went with his suggestion and to make a long story short, my toes are almost as good as normal. The surgery was fast and my recovery was even faster. After each follow up visit I continued to feel more and more optimistic. He worked
