Your First-Choice Foot & Ankle Specialist You Can Trust

Your feet are the foundation of your overall health, and we often don’t recognize problems until pain or other symptoms limit our ability to function in daily life. When they hurt, it can impact your entire body. That’s why finding the right foot doctor in the Black Hills is essential for long-term wellness.

At Rapid City Medical Center, Dr. Jennifer Ryder offers expert, compassionate care for a wide range of foot, ankle, and lower leg conditions. A board-certified podiatrist who has called the Black Hills home since 2001, Dr. Ryder is known for her thoughtful approach and dedication to helping patients stay active and pain-free. Outside the clinic, she enjoys snow skiing, biking, hiking, yoga, and spending quality time with her husband and their five children. Her well-rounded lifestyle and deep roots in the community make her care not only professional—but truly personal.

Dr. Ryder works with patients of all ages, offering compassionate, personalized care tailored to your needs. Whether you’re dealing with heel pain, bunions, plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot concerns, or a sports-related injury, she combines advanced diagnostics, surgical expertise, and targeted rehabilitation to help you get back on your feet—literally.
