Patient information

What happens at your appointment.

If you have not seen a podiatrist before, it helps to know what the visit involves. Nothing here is rushed, and nothing is done without explaining it first.

  1. 01

    Book

    Book online, or call the clinic if you would rather talk it through first. The appointment fee is payable when you book.

  2. 02

    Tell us what is bothering you

    We start by listening. What hurts, when it started, what makes it worse, and what you need to be able to do.

  3. 03

    Assessment

    Depending on the appointment, we look at your skin and nails, or at your joints, strength, footwear and the way you walk and run.

  4. 04

    Diagnosis and explanation

    We explain what we have found in plain English, and what we think is causing it. Ask us anything at this point.

  5. 05

    Treatment plan

    We agree what happens next together — treatment today, exercises, orthotics, or simply review in a few months.

  6. 06

    Follow-up if required

    We only ask you back when it will make a difference, and we will tell you why.

Before you come

  • Bring the shoes you wear most, and your trainers if the problem involves walking or running.
  • Wear or bring shorts if your knees or hips are part of the picture.
  • Bring a list of any medication you take, and any letters or scan results you already have.
  • Please arrive a few minutes early so we can use the full appointment for you.

Useful to know

  • You do not need a referral from your GP to see us.
  • Appointment fees are payable at the time of booking. Specialist treatments such as SwiftPro or Clearanail are charged in addition, on the day.
  • Please read our booking, payment and cancellation terms before you book.
  • The reception phone is not manned between 1pm and 2pm.
