If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to get foot care through your insurance, long waits, surprise bills, referrals, and confusing networks, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why more people in Phoenix are turning to a different model: direct podiatry care.
At Direct Podiatry AZ, we do things differently. We’re a cash-based clinic, which means you don’t need insurance or a referral to be seen, just a need for quality, personalized foot and nail care.
So What Is Direct Podiatry Care?
Direct care is a simple model that puts patients back in control. Here’s what that means:
No insurance required — pay directly for your visit or treatment
No referrals — you can book yourself, anytime
Transparent pricing — flat rates, listed clearly
No rushed appointments — your concerns get time and attention
It’s healthcare with fewer barriers and more clarity.
Why This Matters for Phoenix Patients

Phoenix is growing fast, and so is the wait time to see specialists. If you have an issue like an ingrown toenail, foot pain, or fungal toenails, you shouldn't have to wait months to feel better.
With direct care:
You can get in quickly
You know what you’re paying before your visit
You receive care that’s focused on you, not insurance checkboxes
