Bring the shoes you wear
Your everyday shoes help a podiatrist understand how your feet are supported. Bring any insoles too, even if you no longer use them.
Make a short list
Think about what is uncomfortable, when you notice it and what you want to return to doing. Bring a current medicines list. Share health information during your appointment, rather than in an online enquiry.
Ask about your plan
A first visit is a chance to understand the findings and ask about options, costs and follow-up. No treatment should begin before it has been explained and agreed.
