New Patient Podiatry Appointment

Service Description

New patient assessment (45 minutes £45) - A comprehensive initial assessment of the foot and ankle. The podiatrist will listen to pulses located in your feet and test your ability to sense vibration and light touch (this will be updated annually and the results discussed with you). Your medical history will be taken and all medications noted including both prescribed medications and over-the-counter medications. All medications have side effects and sometimes these produce symptoms. It is, therefore, important that your podiatrist take this into account when providing their working diagnosis of your presenting pathology. Full assessment of the skin and nails along with the joint ranges of motion of the foot and ankle provide your podiatrist with the information necessary to complete your bespoke treatment plan. Photos may also be taken of your skin and nails to allow your podiatrist to monitor the progress of a chosen treatment.
