  • Servicing Derby Patients From Our Wichita Office

Derby patients trust Central Kansas Podiatry Associates for diabetic foot care, advanced wound healing, and foot and ankle treatment for the whole family. Led by board-certified and wound care-certified podiatrist Dr. Benjamin Weaver, DPM, our office at 1819 N Greenwich Rd, Ste B, in east Wichita is about 20 to 25 minutes from Derby. We accept TRICARE and Medicare, and many of our patients are service members and families connected to nearby McConnell Air Force Base.

Diabetic Foot Care for Derby Residents

Diabetes affects the nerves and blood vessels in the feet, which means a small blister or ingrown toenail can turn into a serious problem before you even feel it. Regular exams are one of the most effective ways to prevent ulcers, infections, and amputation. Our diabetic foot care program includes:

Advanced Wound Care Close to Derby

Dr. Weaver is one of the few wound care-certified podiatrists in the Wichita area, and he treats both the wound and the underlying problem that caused it. Derby patients with slow-healing ulcers, surgical sites that will not close, or wounds complicated by poor circulation have access to treatments that many general clinics do not offer:

Our full podiatric wound care page explains how these therapies fit together, and our article on advanced technologies that heal stubborn diabetic foot wounds goes deeper. You can also read how one patient's stubborn ulcers finally healed after treatment at our office.

Foot Care for McConnell AFB Service Members and Their Families

Military life is hard on the feet. Long hours in boots, physical training, and frequent moves can lead to plantar fasciitis, stress fractures, Achilles problems, and chronic heel pain. Because so many Derby families have ties to McConnell Air Force Base, we understand the need for treatment that keeps you mission-ready. Dr. Weaver relies on custom orthotics, bracing, and non-invasive therapies to help service members recover without unnecessary downtime. For training-related injuries, see our guide to treatment for sports-related injuries.

Family Foot Care, From Derby Classrooms to Retirement

We see patients from newborns to seniors. Parents in Derby often bring children in for heel pain, flat feet, warts, and ingrown toenails, especially around the start of the school year. Our guide to finding the best shoes for your kid this school year can help you shop smarter. For adults, we treat everything from nail and skin conditions to foot and ankle pain.

Frequently Asked Questions From Derby Patients

Does Central Kansas Podiatry Associates accept TRICARE?

Yes. TRICARE is among the insurance plans our office accepts, along with Medicare, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and the NALC Health Benefit Plan. Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage depends on your plan type, so see our Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage page or call (316) 269-3338 to verify your benefits.

How often should someone with diabetes see a podiatrist?

Most people with diabetes should have a comprehensive foot exam at least once a year, and more often if they have neuropathy, poor circulation, a history of ulcers, or foot deformities. Dr. Weaver will recommend a schedule based on your individual risk.

When should a foot wound be seen by a podiatrist?

See a podiatrist promptly if a foot wound has not improved within a few days, is getting larger, drains, smells, is surrounded by spreading redness or warmth, or occurs in someone with diabetes or poor circulation. Review the five warning signs a foot wound needs professional care.

How long is the drive from Derby to the office?

Most Derby patients arrive in about 20 to 25 minutes. The most direct route is Rock Road north to Kellogg (US-54/400), east on Kellogg to the Greenwich Road interchange, and north on Greenwich to 1819 N Greenwich Rd.

Can custom orthotics help service members who stand or march for long periods?

Custom orthotics can reduce strain on the arch, heel, and forefoot during long periods of standing, marching, or running in boots. Dr. Weaver evaluates foot structure and gait before prescribing them, and he often pairs orthotics with non-invasive treatment to keep active-duty patients on their feet.
