Initial consultation

Your first visit to our clinic will include a complete physical examination of the feet and legs. A thorough medical history will be taken because many medical conditions can impact the feet. Be sure to bring a list of your current medications as well as your most commonly worn footwear.

OHIP does not cover the cost of chiropodial care, however most extended private insurance plans will provide coverage.

Reduced fees are available for seniors and children.
