Referrals

GPs, consultants and allied health professionals

If your patient needs the help of an experienced, registered podiatrist, Feet In Focus can help. Our practice was established in 2004 to offer a complete range of footcare tailored to each patient's needs, from routine podiatry and nail surgery to full-body video gait analysis, custom foot orthotics, diabetic footcare and yearly check-ups.

We send you a report of our assessment findings and the treatment provided, and we are happy to discuss a referral beforehand if you are unsure whether our services are right for your patient. Once we receive a referral, we contact the patient to recommend the right appointment and make booking as simple as possible.
