First Podiatry Appointment
Please book this appointment if it is your first time with us or if you haven't been in a year or more.
This appointment allows us to carry out a thorough assessment of your feet and ankles. A full medical history is also taken so please bring a list of any medications to the appointment. As medical professionals we must have this information before we can treat your complaint.
We will also carry out a circulation and sensation check before we start any treatment.
After your first podiatry appointment, you can book repeat routine podiatry appointments or our Simply Nails Service - A focused treatment for those who simply need a nail cut and nothing else.
Toe Nail Removal
Ingrowing toe nails can cause a lot of pain and ongoing infection. Sometimes the best option is to have them totally or partially removed.
You will require an initial visit to assess your toe and if it is decided that the best course of treatment is removal, we will book you in as soon as possible to have the procedure done. Your toe will be numbed using local anaesthetic and the nail removed.
We use phenol on the nail bed which helps to prevent regrowth and reduces bleeding and pain after the procedure.
You will require follow up treatments to ensure that your wound is healing properly. We offer MLS laser therapy at these appointments; a safe, painless and high end treatment to encourage healing and reduce infection risk.
This treatment is provided as a package of care which includes:
-
The nail removal procedure
-
Dressing pack
-
Follow up appointment 3-4 days after your procedure including MLS laser therapy
-
Follow up appointment around 10 days after your procedure including MLS laser therapy
