Home visit podiatrist in Tweed Heads
If getting to a clinic has become hard work, the podiatry can come to you. I treat people in their own homes across Tweed Heads and the surrounding suburbs — the same care you would get in a clinic, at your kitchen table, without the parking, the stairs or the wait.
What a home visit involves
A visit takes about 45 minutes. I bring everything: sterile instruments, a portable chair if you need one, and a drill for thickened nails. We talk about what is bothering you, I check circulation and sensation, treat the nails, corns and callus, and leave you with the feet comfortable and a plan for next time.
Who this suits
People who cannot bend to reach their feet. People with diabetes who need their feet checked properly. Anyone who has had a fall, or whose eyesight or grip makes nail care unsafe. Family members who have been trimming a parent's nails and would rather it was done by someone registered to do it.
How often people book
Most people settle into a visit every six to eight weeks. Some need it monthly, some twice a year. There is no contract and no minimum — we work out what your feet actually need.
Common questions
- Do you bring everything with you?
- Yes. Sterile instruments for every visit, a nail drill for thickened nails, dressings, and a portable chair if there is nowhere suitable to sit.
- Do I need a referral?
- No. You can book directly. A referral is only needed if you are claiming through Medicare's chronic disease plan or DVA, and your GP arranges that.
- How far do you travel?
- Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Terranora, Kingscliff, Coolangatta, Pottsville, Cabarita and Murwillumbah. If you are just outside that, ring and ask.
