Cheshire Foot Clinic

What to expect when you visit us for the first time

When you book an appointment to come to the clinic for the first time you will receive a form to complete and reminders of your appointment. These can be sent to you by text or email.

Please let our Receptionist know if you have any special requirements at the time of booking. For instance please let them know if you are not able to go upstairs.

Please try to arrive on time for your appointment. Our Podiatrists do their best to work efficiently and keep to appointment times but inevitably there is the occasional delay when they are presented with a complex problem. Our Receptionists will keep you informed if this should happen.

The podiatrist your appointment is booked with will come to collect you from the waiting room  for your assessment appointment.

Our Podiatrist will take a detailed history of your foot or leg problem, record your medical history and any medications you take, discuss your treatment goals and carry out an examination.

Once your assessment is complete, our Podiatrist will give you a diagnosis or differential diagnosis of your problem, discuss the treatment options available to you and answer any questions that you may have. They will also provide initial treatment for problems affecting the skin and nails.

Patients with corns or calluses should book a Routine Initial Assessment or New Patient Assessment. 

Those patients with foot, ankle or leg pain which is greater than 6 weeks duration should book a Biomechanical Assessment.

When attending for a Biomechanical / Gait Assessment appointment It is important that you bring with you:

  • the 3 pairs of footwear that you use most frequently for our Podiatrist to assess
  • a pair of shorts to change into for your examination, this will enable our Podiatrist to give you a full examination and check your knee and hip function as necessary.

At the end of your 1st appointment, our Podiatrist will provide a bespoke treatment plan for you to take away summarising the advice and information that has been discussed and suggesting your next steps. Then they will escort you back to reception.
