With her extensive background in complex podiatric ailments, Ruth Kosak, DPM, can treat a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions, from chronic foot pain to diabetic ulcers (and everything in between). Dr. Kosak welcomes new and existing patients to Arizona Foot and Ankle Physicians, located in Scottsdale, Arizona.
While Dr. Kosak was completing her undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Arizona State University (ASU), she participated in published research on the mitochondria. She discovered her interest in neuropathy — and thus podiatric care — while she was observing neuropathy research at ASU.
Dr. Kosak ultimately earned her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine from the Dr. William M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine at Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science in North Chicago. She went on to finish her surgical foot and ankle residency program through NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Kosak was among the first generation of podiatrists to complete this competitive residency program.
After Dr. Kosak completed her medical training, she relocated back to Arizona, where she originally began her higher education. She was part of a team of doctors who specialized in limb salvage and wound care at Tucson Medical Center. Dr. Kosak decided to establish her roots in Arizona and go into private practice, so she could focus on her true passion: compassionate and comprehensive patient care.
Because Dr. Kosak wants her patients to be able to get all of their foot and ankle care needs met under one roof, she has state-of-the-art ultrasound and digital X-ray systems on-site. She also works closely with her team of certified podiatric medical assistants to ensure patients get prompt medical care and even same-day appointments for heel pain in Scottsdale, ingrown toenail treatments in Scottsdale, wound care in Scottsdale, and more.
As a small family-owned Scottsdale, AZ, podiatrist practice, Arizona Foot and Ankle Physicians is known for offering personalized care. The practice is fully computerized with electronic insurance claim submission processing for patient convenience.
Patients of the practice appreciate Dr. Kosak’s willingness to go above and beyond to provide customized therapy and treatment plans, especially Scottsdale diabetic foot care management. Dr. Kosak is also fluent in English and Spanish.
