Disclaimer: this information is based on the best available information that we can find. It should not be relied upon for decision making without being verified. For example, some podiatrists may be licensed in two states; some podiatrists may maintain their license, but are no longer practicing or are on leave; some may be practicing part-time – the above information does not take that into account as it is not available. The number of podiatrists is based on the raw data available from the various licensing boards of the number of licenses in each state.
