Frequently Asked Questions
Do seniors need to have a doctor’s referral to see a podiatrist?
No, you do not need to see a doctor first to make an appointment with us. You can book your appointment directly with us to discuss your situation. If your doctor gave you a care plan, we will work with your doctor.
How often should seniors see a podiatrist?
This depends on their overall health. However, most seniors require podiatrist visits every 6 to 10 weeks for nail and skin care, while others visit a podiatrist as needed due to foot pain or mobility problems.
Can a podiatrist improve senior stability and balance?
Yes! Senior podiatrists examine the gait, the way you walk and the type of shoes that you wear to create a program that will help strengthen the feet and reduce your risk of falls through orthotic and stabilising methods and exercises.
What do seniors need for their first appointment with a podiatrist?
Please bring your daily shoes, any orthotic devices that you have, and a list of medications and medical conditions. This will help the podiatrist to create a customised plan for your care.
