Podiatrist Serving Sun City, AZ | Sole Foot & Ankle Specialists
Sun City is home to one of the most active senior communities in the country — and healthy, pain-free feet are essential for the active retirement lifestyle that Sun City residents value. Sole Foot & Ankle Specialists, located in nearby Glendale, is the trusted podiatric resource for Sun City residents who need expert, compassionate foot and ankle care that respects both their medical complexity and their personal health goals.
Our board-certified podiatrists, Dr. Jay C. Larson, DPM FACFAS, and Dr. Jacob Nelson, DPM FACFAS, understand the unique foot care needs of older adults — from managing the cumulative effects of a lifetime on your feet to navigating the complex intersection of diabetes, neuropathy, poor circulation, and age-related structural changes that make geriatric foot care a specialty in its own right.
Foot Care for Sun City’s Active Senior Community
Sun City residents lead active lives — golf, pickleball, swimming, walking clubs, and community events are part of the daily rhythm. Foot pain that goes untreated doesn’t just cause discomfort; it limits the activities that make retirement meaningful. Our podiatric team works with Sun City seniors to address foot conditions effectively so that nothing has to slow you down.
Conditions we commonly treat for Sun City patients include:
- Arthritis in the foot and ankle — managing pain and preserving function in aging joints
- Diabetic foot care — comprehensive monitoring, wound prevention, and patient education for Sun City’s significant diabetic population
- Peripheral neuropathy — protecting insensate feet and managing the discomfort of burning and tingling
- Geriatric foot care — routine nail debridement, callus management, and fall prevention strategies
- Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
- Bunions and hammertoes that worsen with age
- Fungal nail infections and calluses
- Foot ulcers and wound care
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) assessment and management
- Custom orthotics — including Medicare-covered diabetic footwear for qualifying patients
Why Sun City Residents Choose Our Glendale Practice
Sun City residents tell us they appreciate that our podiatrists take the time to listen, explain, and involve patients in their own care decisions — rather than rushing through appointments. We understand that for many seniors, a foot problem isn’t just a medical issue; it’s a threat to independence, mobility, and the active lifestyle you’ve earned. Our entire team is trained to provide care that is both clinically excellent and genuinely respectful of that.
For patients with Medicare, we accept Medicare and can help navigate coverage for diabetic footwear, custom orthotics, and wound care services. Our staff assists with prior authorizations and benefit verification to minimize out-of-pocket costs wherever possible.
