Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a GP referral to see a podiatrist?
No referral is required. You can book directly online or by phone for any of our services, including biomechanical assessments, nail surgery, and routine foot care.
How soon can I get an appointment?
Most new patients can be seen within 48 hours, depending on the times that suit you. Book online or call us on (01) 556 3662.
What's the difference between a podiatrist and a chiropodist?
In Ireland there's no difference in who can treat you. Podiatrist and chiropodist are both protected titles for the same CORU-registered profession, and podiatrist is the more modern name. Our podiatrists do everything a chiropodist does, like nail care, corns, calluses and verrucas, as well as biomechanical assessments, custom orthotics and rehab for foot pain.
What happens at my first appointment?
Your initial appointment includes a full clinical history, foot and lower-limb assessment, and a discussion of your treatment options. For biomechanical concerns, dynamic gait scanning may also be performed at your first visit.
How long does it take to receive custom orthotics?
Following your biomechanical assessment and gait scan, Phits 3D-printed orthotics are typically ready within two to three weeks. We will contact you when they arrive for a fitting appointment.
Is ingrown toenail surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the treatment. Some tenderness is normal for a few days afterwards, and we will provide clear aftercare instructions.
At what age can children be seen?
We see children of all ages for gait assessments, developmental foot checks, and orthotics. If you have concerns about your child's walking pattern or foot development, an early assessment is recommended.
Is podiatry covered by health insurance?
Many Irish health insurance plans cover podiatry consultations and treatment. We recommend checking directly with your insurer for your specific plan. We can provide receipts for all appointments.
Not sure where to start?
