Podiatry – 5352 9327
Podiatrists are trained to diagnose, prevent and treat foot disorders.
The Podiatry service is for clients who have a condition that places their lower limb at risk of complications, or have a significant foot problem. A referral from a GP or other health professional is required for new clients who should hold pension card or health care card. Due to the demands on this service, EGHS is unable to accept self-referrals for our Podiatry services and general nail cutting on healthy feet is not offered.
The Podiatrists at EGHS can assess, treat and give expert advice on a wide range of problems affecting the feet, lower limbs, gait and mobility.
These problems may include:
- foot pressure injuries
- wounds and infections on feet and toes
- foot problems that affect walking, running or doing activities at work
- gait or balance problems for all ages
- foot problems from chronic conditions like diabetes, kidney failure, arthritis, cancer, circulation or nerve problems
- shoes and orthotics problems
- corns and callouses that are affecting your gait or walking
- problems or deformities that need long term rehabilitation using casts, insoles, pads or braces
- ingrown toenails that need surgery or bracing
Very impressed with the professionalism and level of treatment and care provided by the podiatrist.
It was a pleasure being treated by the podiatrist. My foot has never been so well cared for.
Staff at the Community Health Centre were very courteous and the podiatrist I saw made me feel very relaxed and did a wonderful job with my feet.
I had a very positive experience with the podiatrist. Very thorough, kind and easy to chat with and explained everything to me.
A very pleasant visit with the podiatrist. Learnt so much about foot bone structure.
Very satisfied with careful and professional treatment. Appointment on time.
Thank you to all the staff for making my visit for my podiatry appointment a complete pleasure. Thank you for caring. Looking forward to my next appointment. 10/10. Thank you.
