All the podiatrists at Waikato Podiatry clinics will start by asking about the problem you want our help with. They will listen to how you describe the problem and how it is affecting you so that they understand it from your perspective. Then they will take a full medical history to make sure there is nothing else underlying that they need to know about before carrying out a physical assessment. The exact assessments will depend on the problem you are presenting with. Your podiatrist will then give you a diagnosis of the problem. They will discuss treatment options with you and how you can work together to get the best results for you.
