What to Expect During Your Podiatry Consultation

During your appointment at Northeast Florida Foot and Ankle, you can expect a comprehensive and caring evaluation of your foot and ankle condition. Here’s a general overview of what typically happens during a consultation:

• Review of Your Medical History: Our podiatrist will begin by reviewing your medical history, including any past illnesses, surgeries, medications, allergies, and family history relevant to your foot and ankle health.
• Discussion of Your Current Concerns: You will have the opportunity to thoroughly discuss your current symptoms, when they started, what makes them better or worse, and how they are affecting your daily life.
• Physical Examination: The podiatrist will perform a thorough physical examination of your feet and ankles. This may involve observing your gait (how you walk), checking your range of motion, palpating (feeling) different areas, and performing specific tests to assess your condition.
• Diagnostic Testing (if necessary): Depending on your condition, the podiatrist may recommend or perform in-office diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, ultrasound, or other specialized tests to help diagnose the problem.
• Explanation of Your Diagnosis: Once a diagnosis is made, the podiatrist will explain your condition in clear and understandable terms.
• Discussion of Treatment Options: The podiatrist will discuss various treatment options available to you, which may include conservative measures (like orthotics, physical therapy, medication), minimally invasive procedures, or surgical options if necessary.
• Personalized Treatment Plan: Together, you and the podiatrist will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. This plan will outline the recommended treatments, expected outcomes, and any necessary follow-up appointments.
• Opportunity to Ask Questions: We encourage you to ask any questions you may have about your condition, treatment plan, or any other concerns. Our team is here to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your foot and ankle care.

Our goal is to provide you with the highest quality of care in a comfortable and supportive environment. We look forward to helping you get back on your feet!
