Common questions

FAQ

Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist?

In most cases, no. Many patients schedule directly with us. Some insurance plans do require a referral, so check your plan or call us and we will help you figure it out.

Do you take my insurance?

Call the office at (716) 695-2244 with your insurance information and we will verify your coverage before your visit, so there are no surprises.

How quickly can I be seen?

As a new independent practice, we pride ourselves on getting patients in quickly. Call us and we will find you the earliest available time.

Will I actually see the doctor?

Yes. Every visit at Soldano Foot & Ankle is with Dr. Soldano himself.

What if I might need surgery?

We always start with conservative treatment when appropriate. If surgery becomes the right option, Dr. Soldano will explain why, what the procedure involves, and what recovery really looks like, so you can make an informed decision.
