Questions before arriving? Call our reception on (441) 533-2508
Complete your new patient form
Submitting your form online in advance helps your podiatrist review your background before you arrive.
Bring your insurance information
Bring details of your current medical insurance card or policy information so our team can verify the details they need.
Bring or wear relevant footwear
If your issue relates to walking, sport, exercise or recurring pain, bring the shoes you regularly wear so your podiatrist can inspect wear patterns and biomechanics.
Think about your symptoms
It helps to note when the problem started, what activities trigger discomfort, whether it is getting better or worse, and what previous treatments you have tried.
From Consultation to Treatment
What to Expect at Your First Podiatry Visit
Your first appointment starts with a conversation.
Your podiatrist will ask about the reason for your visit, your symptoms and any relevant medical or foot-health history. The exact assessment will depend on why you have come to see us.
Your Assessment
Your appointment is tailored to the reason you're visiting
Every appointment is individual. Depending on your symptoms and goals, your podiatrist will focus on the areas that matter most to your mobility and comfort.
Foot & nail health
Your podiatrist may assess concerns such as thickened or fungal nails, corns, calluses, verrucae, ingrown nails or routine foot-care needs.
Pain & movement
For heel pain, exercise-related pain or walking problems, your assessment may include your foot and lower-limb function, movement, footwear and biomechanics.
Diabetic foot health
Diabetic foot assessments may include skin, circulation, sensation, pressure areas and other factors that help identify and reduce foot-health risks.
Sports & activity
For sports-related symptoms, your podiatrist may assess how your feet and lower limbs are functioning and discuss footwear, rehabilitation or other treatment options.
Your Treatment Plan
Treatment may begin at your first appointment
Depending on your condition, appropriate treatment may be carried out during your appointment so you experience relief without delay.
Where further investigation, a treatment course or specialist treatment is recommended, your podiatrist will explain the next steps clearly.
