Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a Podiatrist in North Rocks?

No, private clients do not need a referral to book an appointment. You can simply call or walk in to our North Rocks clinic. However, if you are claiming through DVA or a Medicare Enhanced Primary Care (EPC) plan, you will need a referral from your GP.

How does Podiatry support my independence?

Podiatry supports independence by keeping you mobile and pain free. By managing foot pain, corns, or balance issues, we help you continue doing the things you love, like shopping, walking, or gardening, without relying on others for help.

What is the Optimum Roadmap for Podiatry?

The Optimum Roadmap is our way of planning your foot care for the entire year. We look at your budget and schedule your general care, assessments, and any equipment needs like orthotics. This ensures you never face unexpected gaps in your care.

Why is there a 48 hour cancellation fee?

The 48 hour cancellation fee is a mutual commitment to your mobility. Foot care is often time sensitive. By keeping your appointment, you ensure your foot health stays on track. It also allows us to open the spot for another North Rocks neighbour who might be in pain.

Yes, we provide comprehensive diabetic foot assessments to monitor your nerve and blood supply. This is a critical part of managing diabetes. We help you navigate your foot health to prevent complications and keep you walking safely.
