Your First Appointment
Your first appointment is a comprehensive assessment: we take a clear history, gather information about your current symptoms, and examine your feet, ankles and legs, assessing joint movement, muscle strength, walking pattern and footwear.
Please bring your shoes so your podiatrist can review their suitability for your biomechanics and activities, along with any relevant x-rays or scans. From there, your podiatrist tailors a specific treatment plan.
