When your foot hurts, everything hurts.
A nagging heel, a sharp pain in the arch, or that mysterious ankle ache that just won’t quit – they can throw off your whole routine. Your walk becomes a wobble. Grocery trips feel like marathons. And suddenly, you’re searching Google for “foot doctor near me” hoping for a miracle.
If that’s you, good news: help is just around the corner.
Let’s introduce you to Dr. Scott McKell, one of the most trusted podiatrists in Orem, Utah.

Dr. McKell treats a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, and patients love his down-to-earth approach. You won’t get rushed. You will get a clear diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan, and plenty of answers to your “what the heck is going on with my foot?” questions.
What Conditions Does a Podiatrist Treat?
We often hear, “I didn’t even know podiatrists treated this!”
Here’s a quick list of what Dr. McKell can help with:
- Plantar fasciitis (the most common cause of heel pain)
- Bunions & hammertoes
- Ingrown toenails
- Flat feet & high arches
- Ankle sprains & instability
- Diabetic foot care
- Nerve pain
- Foot injuries from running, hiking, or “just being a parent of toddlers”
If your feet or ankles are yelling at you, don’t ignore them. They’re kind of like check engine lights – flashing for a reason. And Dr. McKell? He’s your local foot mechanic.
Why See a Local Orem Podiatrist Instead of “Waiting It Out”?
We know how easy it is to hope the pain will go away on its own. But foot issues are a little like leaky faucets – they rarely fix themselves. Left untreated, they often get worse… and more expensive to treat.
Here’s why choosing a local podiatrist like Dr. McKell makes all the difference:
- Convenient Orem location
- Friendly, knowledgeable staff
- Same-day and next-day appointments often available
- No long drives, no crowded hospital clinics
When people search for a foot doctor near me, they’re not just looking for someone with the right degree. They’re looking for someone they can trust that’s close to home. That’s Dr. McKell.
What to Expect at Your Visit
Not sure what happens at a podiatry visit? Don’t worry… it’s not like going to the DMV.
Your first appointment includes:
- A one-on-one conversation with Dr. McKell
- A physical exam of your foot or ankle
- Imaging if necessary (X-rays, ultrasound, etc.)
- A clear, customized treatment plan – often with same-day relie
Treatment might include supportive insoles, strapping or taping, stretching exercises, or more advanced options. You won’t leave guessing. You’ll leave knowing.
Real Patients. Real Relief.
Here’s what two of Dr. McKell’s recent patients had to say:
“First visit, Dr. McKell suspected plantar fasciitis, taped up my foot, and sent me on my way. A few days later, the pain was gone. Second visit we reviewed options, settled on a new insole, and I was out in 15 minutes. Very minimal waiting, comfy office. Highly recommended.” — Joel J.
“Dr. McKell is such a great doctor. Very kind and explains everything well. I’m now able to walk around in comfort. I highly recommend him!” — Katy Z.
You don’t have to live with foot pain. Joel and Katy didn’t — and neither should you.
