FAQ:
What is the difference between a Chiropodist and a Podiatrist?
Both terms refer to practitioners who specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of foot conditions. The term Chiropodist has been more commonly used throughout Ireland and the UK, while Podiatrist is used in the rest of the English speaking world. Although the term Podiatrist is increasingly been used here. The two terms are interchangeable but strictly speaking the difference between the two professions is based on education and scope of practice.
Can I claim back on my Health Insurance?
Yes, receipts are available for VHI, Quinn Healthcare & Avivas. Refunds will vary according to individual policies.
Do I need a referral?
No, a referral is not necessary. Simply book an appointment with your podiatrist for assessment and treatment.
Is Treatment Painful?
No, we are here to help. Corns, calluses and hard skin removal are painless. In-grown toe nails depending on their severity may be a little painful, but I am very gentle and often patients are surprised at how painless my treatments are.
