Podiatry Home Visits
The Foot Hub understands that some of our patients may not be able to come into our Sydney foot clinic for podiatry visits and as a result we offer home podiatry visits. Home podiatry visits allow patients to be seen in the comfort of their homes and can provide ease and convenience for many patients.
If you are a patient who needs to see a podiatrist in Sydney and finds it difficult to attend a podiatry clinic, home visits are a great option for you.
How Do Podiatry Home Visits Work?
Simply call 02 8096 4763 to arrange your next podiatry home visit. Our Sydney podiatrist will book you on the day and time that is suitable. Alternatively you can head to our online booking system, select ‘Home Visit’ and make your appointment online. Once your appointment is made and confirmed, one of our qualified Podiatrists will visit your home and will perform the same duties that regular Podiatrist would do.
Home visits allow us to visit you in the comfort of your home and taking away any stress of getting to our clinic if you are not able to.
