WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT DURING VISIT
Our team is dedicated to making your visit comfortable and informative.

Upon arrival, check in with our receptionist and take a seat in our welcoming waiting area. Your podiatrist will personally meet you and escort you to the treatment room.

PATIENT HISTORY
We will take the time to understand your main concerns, collect a detailed medical history, and note any medication or allergies.

We’ll also discuss your personal goals for treatment - whether it’s reducing pain, improving mobility, or something else entirely.

PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
This involves carefully examining your feet, ankles, and potentially your knees and hips if biomechanics are a factor.

Our diagnostics may include skin, nail, and foot structure assessments and vascular and neurological checks to gauge blood flow and nerve health.

DIAGNOSTICS & TREATMENT OPTIONS
Once the assessment is complete, where possible your podiatrist will provide a diagnosis and overview of potential causes of your issue.

We’ll walk you through your treatment options, answer any questions, and begin addressing immediate concerns - for example, treating corns, calluses, or ingrown toenails on the same day when possible.

PERSONALISED TREATMENT PLAN
Finally, we’ll create a tailored treatment plan for you to take home.

This written plan summarises our advice, treatment options, and any follow-up steps. Your podiatrist will then escort you back to the reception desk and arrange any further treatment appointments as required. Patients who have had pain in the foot, ankle, or leg for over six weeks should book a Biomechanical Assessment this allows us time to assess you fully, identify the underlying causes of discomfort, diagnose your condition and discuss your treatment options with you.
