All initial assessments are 40 minutes so we can adequately assess, diagnose and treat the concern that you are having. You will be greeted by our reception staff and fill a new patient form. A podiatrist will assess and discuss what they believe is causing your issues. You will likely leave with some form of initial treatment and a review appointment to better determine your best 'steps forward'.

If you have diabetes then you should have your feet assessed yearly to ensure that any changes to the small blood vessels and nerves at your feet are monitored. This is important as your overall management may be affected by the results of any tests. Assess toe pressures which is the most accurate risk assessment of wound healing and risk.
