Frequently Asked Questions

A podiatrist is a registered healthcare professional who specialises in the assessment and management of lower-leg and foot problems — from skin and nail concerns to sports injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation. Our team have over 25 years combined experience.

A Foot Therapist is a trained foot-care professional who works alongside our podiatrists, focusing on routine skin and nail care, hard skin and callus management, and treatments such as The Podicure®. They help keep your feet healthy and comfortable, and refer on to a podiatrist whenever a concern needs further clinical assessment. For more info.

Many insurers contribute toward podiatry treatment and orthotics, though cover varies by policy. We recommend checking with your provider — we're happy to supply any documentation you need to make a claim. Please note, currently most insurance providers do not cover treatment performed by a Foot Therapist.

If you're unsure, simply give our reception team a call and describe your concern — we'll match you with the right clinician and appointment type, whether that's general care, a biomechanical assessment, or The Podicure®.

Yes. We developed The Podicure® — a bespoke medical pedicure performed in our hygienic clinical setting using only the highest-quality products, safely restoring your skin and nails.

Most standard appointments run 30–45 minutes. Initial assessments and biomechanical appointments may take a little longer — our team will let you know when you book.

No referral is needed to see a podiatrist, though you may be referred by another healthcare provider. Simply call us to discuss your needs and we can book you right in.

We are ACC-registered health providers. If your injury was caused by an accident and you're eligible, we'll file a claim on your behalf — ACC provides a partial payment toward your fee, reducing the cost to you.

Please bring any relevant footwear, current orthotics, a list of medications, and any imaging or referral letters you may have. Wearing comfortable clothing helps if a movement assessment is needed.

Fees depend on the appointment type. ACC and insurance contributions may reduce your cost. Contact our reception team for current pricing and any cover you may be eligible for.

Absolutely. We work alongside physiotherapists, GPs, sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons and more across Wellington, and will refer you on whenever it's in your best interest.
