Meet Dr. Derek Anselmo, DPM
Dr. Anselmo is a foot and ankle surgeon with a passion for sports medicine and helping active patients return to what they love.

Foot & Ankle Services at Our Lehi Office
Our Lehi podiatrist treats the full range of foot and ankle conditions – from everyday concerns to complex reconstructive surgery. If it's below the knee, we treat it.
Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis
If your first steps in the morning feel like stepping on glass, you're likely dealing with plantar fasciitis, a heel spur, or Achilles tendinitis. We offer stretching protocols, custom orthotics, shockwave therapy, injections, and minimally invasive surgical options.
Bunions & Hammertoes
Bunions don't fix themselves. We offer both conservative care and modern bunion surgery.
Ingrown Toenails
Most ingrown toenails can be resolved in a single office visit. If yours keeps coming back, we offer a permanent correction so you don't have to deal with it again.
Sports Injuries & Ankle Sprains
Ankle sprains, Achilles injuries, stress fractures, turf toe, and overuse injuries in runners, cyclists, and weekend athletes. Our goal is to get you back to your sport stronger than before.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics, built from a true mold of your foot and tuned to your gait, help patients with flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, and foot mechanics that drive pain up into the knees, hips, or low back.
Diabetic Foot Care
Annual diabetic foot exams, neuropathy screening, diabetic shoe prescriptions, wound care, and limb-preservation surgery. Medicare Part B covers an annual diabetic foot exam at no out-of-pocket cost for most patients.
Nail & Skin Conditions
Treatment for toenail fungus (topicals, oral medications, and laser therapy), plantar warts, painful corns, and thickened calluses.
Pediatric Foot Care
Flat feet, in-toeing and out-toeing, heel pain (Sever's disease), ingrown toenails, warts, and youth sports injuries. As a dad of three, Dr. Anselmo is great with kids.
Foot & Ankle Surgery
When conservative care isn't enough, Dr. Anselmo's reconstructive training means complex procedures – bunion correction, flatfoot reconstruction, Achilles repair, ankle arthroscopy, and fracture fixation – can be performed close to home.

801-610-6439Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist in Lehi?
In most cases, no. Podiatrists are specialists you can see directly, and most insurance plans in Utah do not require a referral. HMO plans do require a referral. Call our office and we'll verify your benefits.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Most new patients are seen within the same week, and often the same day for urgent issues like ingrown toenails or acute foot pain.
Does Dr. Anselmo perform foot and ankle surgery?
Yes. Dr. Anselmo completed a full residency in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery. That said, surgery is almost never the first option – we exhaust conservative treatment first.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept most major plans in Utah, including SelectHealth, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, and many others. Self-pay and HSA/FSA are also welcome. Call our office to see if we are in network with your insurance.
