First Appointment

What to expect on your first appointment

Full Initial Assessment

At the surgery, you will have a thorough:-

Medical history (history of allergies, heart problems, liver/kidney problems, medication e.t.c)

Podiatric assessment carried out on your vascular (blood supply), neurological (nervous system), dermatological (skin), and orthopaedic (bones/joints) systems.

As a result of this, you will be told the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment plan, and any cause for concern that the chiropodist/podiatrist has.

Note: Refusal to give a medical history will simply result in no treatment being given to the patient but the patient will be charged for the time.

Please note:

This is a legal requirement by the HPC (the governments regulatory body) and the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists (professional regulatory body)

What patients say

“Charles is extremely knowledgeable about his profession and gives good accurate advice without any charge... having used his services over the last few years I would not go to back
to my previous chiropodist or any other chiropodist because I think Charles istreats me fairly and effectively”

Peter
Gunthorpe, Peterborough

“When we came to Werrington, we initially had Charles for a home visit. During that visit, he said to us that he could do a far better service at his surgery, and were we absolutely sure that we couldn't get to his surgery. We have been attending his surgery ever since, and find him to be more thorough than the last person that we had, particularly with regards to my heels”

Sylvie
Werrington, Peterborough

“I have thickened nails. I used to go to someone to have them treated. The person that I went to, encouraged me to return after 6 weeks to have them reduced again. I have been going to see Charles for several years now. I find him much more thorough in his approach”

Nina

“I used to have someone else but they were on holiday once and I couldn't get an appointment when I wanted one . I went to see Charles. At the first appointment, the first thing that Charles noticed was the fact that I had athletes foot. I have never ever been told this in several appointments over a time frame by the
other chiropodist. He said that the length of time that I had had the athletes foot untreated explained why I had developed fungal nails. He also gave me both short term, and long term advice on how to deal with this / the prognosis. I also have hard skin. He told me how to prevent this / delay it from returning.
And I am not talking about me using a foot file. either! The other person never once told me this. Although the cost of the appointment itself is more expensive than the other person, I find Charles far better value for money”

Michael
Hampton, Peterborough

“I used to have someone attend once every 6 weeks. Charles came at the end of May, did far more for my nails in 1 visit and I didn't need him until early November”

Janet
Park Ward, Peterborough

“Charles was concerned that something on my leg was taking a long time to heal (over 1 year). A nurse had been dealing with dressing the "ulcer". Although I attend his clinic for nail cutting, he was concerned at this and wrote to the GP so that a further investigation along separate lines could be carried out
(this was as a result of a lecture he had attended). As a result, the GP's surgery have taken a completely different approach to treating the problem and have referred me to the hospital. All thanks to Charles's intervention”
