What is a podiatrist?
A podiatrist is a healthcare professional who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of foot and ankle conditions.
What kind of conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of foot and ankle problems, including ingrown toenails, fungal infections, verrucas, corns, calluses, foot pain, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, cracked heels, and diabetic foot complications.
Do I need a referral from my doctor to see a podiatrist?
No, you can book an appointment with us directly without a referral.
What should I expect during my first appointment?
During your first appointment, our podiatrist will conduct a thorough assessment of your foot health, discuss your symptoms and medical history, and develop a personalised treatment plan.
Does podiatry treatment hurt?
Most podiatry treatments are painless or cause only minimal discomfort. However, some procedures, such as nail surgery, may require local anaesthetic.
How often will I need to see a podiatrist?
The frequency of appointments depends on your individual needs and the condition being treated. Some conditions may require only a single visit, while others may need ongoing care.
Do you offer home visits?
Yes, we offer home visits for patients who are unable to come to our clinic. Please contact us to discuss your needs.
What are your fees?
Our fees are competitive and vary depending on the type of treatment required. Please see our pricing page for more information or contact us for a quote.
Do you accept health insurance?
If you are making use of private medical insurance, please do check your cover as the onus is on you to pay any invoices. Do not assume that insurers will pay all of our fees on your behalf. Note that our surcharges aren’t usually covered by medical insurers. Some insurers require a letter of referral from a Consultant or GP, others just require a receipt from ourselves for you to claim back any fees paid.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are easy to remove. If attending for foot pain please bring the shoes you spend the most time to be assessed.
Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?
Yes, you are welcome to bring a friend or family member with you.
