A preliminary appointment allows you to choose a convenient time and avoid waiting. Before the visit, it is worth performing foot hygiene and preparing comfortable clothes and shoes, as well as taking preliminary tests, if any.
At the appointment, the podiatrist conducts an initial examination, analyzes symptoms, collects anamnesis, clarifies hereditary and systemic factors, and also fills out a podiatric chart.
During the first visit, the doctor can perform a basic medical pedicure procedure, which includes hardware foot treatment, diagnosis of fungal lesions, prevention of ingrown nails, removal of corns and keratoses, as well as application of medicinal and antiseptic agents.
The procedure lasts approximately 60 minutes. After the examination, the patient receives recommendations for home care, prevention, and selection of daily hygiene products.
