Did you know?

Your foot contains over 10% of the bones and joints in your body.

Women experience more foot problems than men. High heels are partly to blame.

If you spend a large part of your day standing or walking, consider wearing two pairs of socks to absorb moisture and add cushion.

Walking is the best exercise for your feet. A brisk 30 minute walk every day, with your podiatrist's or physician's supervision, can help ward off foot problems.

At Riverside Medical Clinic, we believe proper foot care is an important part of overall healthcare. Our Podiatry departments are located at our Main and Canyon Springs/Moreno Valley facilities, and are each staffed with a highly experienced board-certified physician.

Dr. Ryan Ricks, located in Canyon Springs, is experienced in all aspects of foot care from athlete's foot to orthotics. Dr. Jong Kim sees patients at the main Brockton Avenue clinic. Because we are a multi-specialty clinic, Dr. Ricks and Dr. Kim work closely with the patient's primary care physician or endocrinologist to ensure quality foot care.

Our Podiatry department can perform minor procedures in the physician's office. This allows you to stay awake during your procedure, be monitored afterwards and go home as soon as your procedure is completed. Our podiatrists also have the option of a comprehensive outpatient facility in Riverside Medical Clinic's Surgery Center.

Typical services and surgeries provided by a Podiatrist are:


Nail Care     Foot Care Education   Hammertoe   Bunion
General Foot Treatment

These are just a few of the many services provided by our podiatrists. Along with basic foot care instruction, patients are also instructed on the aftercare of any procedure performed in the office.

Referrals are required from the primary care physician or the specialist treating the patient in order to be seen by a podiatry physician. Our physicians and their staff strive to educate their patients with pamphlet and other handouts. Patients are also welcome to visit our Patient Information Library.
