“I have to say I’m not a person that sees Doctors often because I consider myself a very healthy person. I’ve been experiencing the pain that comes with a bone spur on my foot and the pain was intolerable. I saw Dr. Sophia Stocks today and my experience was very satisfying. From the moment I booked my appointment on the phone, greeted by staff at the reception area, her assistant to Dr. Stocks. I have to say wow that is what I call amazing customer/patient service. She is very good at explaining and using visuals to explain your condition and the available options. I would recommend this practice to all. They are all very friendly, knowledgeable, caring, and wise. Thank you very much for your service and help.”

“My Mom was traveling from out of town and needed to see a podiatrist ASAP for a diabetic ulcer. I called several places, but the only office that picked up on the first ring was Arizona Foot and Wound Specialists. It was so easy to schedule the appointment and front desk was warm and accommodating. When we went in for treatment we instantly felt welcomed and listened to. Dr. Stocks was so genuine and had the best bedside manner I’ve ever encountered. She took the time to explain exactly what was wrong and how to fix it. My Mom left feeling empowered to start healing and I could not ask for more. She answered my follow up questions and never made either of us feel rushed. And at our follow up appointment my Mom’s wound was already 90% healed. The whole experience was excellent, I could not recommend this office more.”

“I’m so happy my friend told me about Dr. Stocks. I had been in pain and dealing with a foot issue for months, resigned to thinking it was something I would have to deal with for the rest of my life. Dr. Stocks gave me a diagnosis, treatment plan and HOPE. All of the staff I met were very friendly and helpful. I have already started recommending Dr. Stocks.”

If you want a doctor that actually takes the time to understand you and truly make you feel better than when you walked in well you have come to the right place.

“I have been under the care Dr. Stocks for over a year. She is a passionate and high energy doctor. I came to Dr. Stocks for a second opinion on an issue regarding my right foot. I was losing hope. I thought my feet would never get better
She was able to identify that my pain was a result of improperly made orthotic inserts and stress factors in my feet. Dr. Stocks gave me multiple options for my treatment. I ended up getting traumeel injections in my feet and new orthotics inserts. My hope was restored and I was able to return to doing the things I enjoy. Dr. Stocks is amazing. You won't have a foot in the grave under her care!”

I had to have it lacerated to release the swelling. She was so gentle I couldn’t feel any pain, with no numbing shots. I’m now heading home with extreme relief. She’s the best 25/10 recommend. Grateful!!!!! Truly the absolute best, I felt like family!!”

“Beyond grateful I found this place! The staff is nice and friendly. Dr. Stocks is amazing. Gave me a rundown of everything that was wrong with my foot. Gave me several options on how I can treat at home or if I wanted them to treat it since I don’t have insurance and had to pay out of pocket. I decided to get it treated there since in my opinion the prices they gave me weren’t bad at all. She’s super friendly and was cracking jokes to help me to not get tense since I was getting surgery. She came in got the job done in a matter of a couple minutes and I was out. Will definitely go back if I ever have foot pain and I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family. She also speaks Spanish which is very awesome! :)”

“For the past week, I have been experiencing pain in my left foot… I met with Dr. Stocks and she pin pointed my problem areas. She did a 3D scan of my foot and gave me some temporary pads until my custom orthotics came in so I’m not sure why I waited so long to get this done. Overall, Dr. Stocks and her staff were very professional and extremely accommodating to my hectic schedule. They were also very patient with me when it came to answering my questions. I highly recommend this place if you have any foot issues! ”

“I immediately felt welcome when I walked through the door. My x-rays were taken almost right away so the doctor would be able to review them before she saw me. She was friendly, professional and really easy to talk to. She walked me through my condition and put a plan in place that made a lot of sense. She didn’t recommend surgery and I was so relieved.”

We Also Specialize in Pediatric Foot Care
Have you noticed that your little one no longer plays as before or has an ingrown toe nail? Does it seem like there’s discomfort when walking? It could be due to an injury to their feet or ankles.
It is important to be aware of the changes they experience as they develop, as there are different conditions that can affect their growth and health. Having a specialist who takes care of your children's feet can help with this and thus keep your children healthy and happy.
Dr. Stocks treats children of all ages, and many of her patients benefit from custom-designed medical devices in their shoes. These devices, carefully measured and crafted by Dr. Stocks, support children during their growing years. Building healthy foot habits and having annual checkups with a pediatric podiatrist can help kids perform better in sports, improve endurance, and enhance the alignment of joints higher up in the body, such as the knees, hips, and back.

“Dr. Sophia Stocks is hands down one of the best podiatry doctors I have come across in a long time. Not only did I get the pleasure of working along side her when she did her residency at the VA to which fellow veterans loved her and would request to see only her, she has continually taken care of my own feet issues as well from my military service. Very polite, very personable, kind, and extremely helpful as well as knowledgeable. Truly a gifted and talented doctor.”

“Awesome practice! I saw Dr. Stocks for a toe fracture and received great care from her. She is well trained in podiatry and her office is beautiful! Dr. Stocks took the time to explain to me the injury that I sustained and I was able to view my X-Rays on her iPad. She got me on the right treatment plan and I have since recovered. I would highly recommend booking an apt with her clinic”

When Should You Go to the Doctor for an Ingrown Toenail?
Ingrown toenails can sometimes be managed on its own, but it’s recommended to visit your foot specialist in case an infection may occur on the toenail. If you detect any sign of an ingrown toenail infection like pain, swelling, irritation, abscess or redness, it’s important for you to see an ingrown toenail specialist. At Arizona Foot & Wound Specialists we’re ready to help you out with your feet problems and give you the care you deserve and need.
