Singapore's Premier Podiatry Centre

A podiatrist is a valued member of the Allied Health profession who registered by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) to assess, diagnose and manage foot and lower limb pathologies. These problems may include skin and nail disorders, foot and ankle complaints such as injuries, arthritis, diabetic and other medical complications. Furthermore, all my FootDr podiatrists are trained to examine patients for gait disorders or problems with walking and posture.

At my FootDr, our podiatrists are closely aligned with other Allied Health practitioners, general practitioners and medical specialists. This is especially evident in our Australian Foot & Ankle Institute’s Centre of Excellence. As Australia’s largest podiatry group, we are at the forefront of podiatric footcare with our innovative medical technologies and excellent patient outcomes. In fact we have pioneered many of these care management in Australia such as the TAG Brace, fungal nail laser, Exacta3D scanning technology for custom footwear and extracorporeal shockwave therapy.

A referral is not needed to see one of our practitioners unless you require one for insurance purposes. In this case, you will need to visit your GP so that they can write a referral letter to us before coming in.

General consultations and care management cover a wide scope of foot problems, including:

• Footcare (thickened nails, calluses, corns ingrown nails etc)
• Diabetic foot screening and assessments (including digital circulation tests and neurological checks)
• Wax baths for extremely dry skin
• Warts, tinea and other skin pathology

Biomechanical consultations and care management are undertaken for patients facing structural and functional foot problems, such as muscle injuries, or overly high or low arches.

General consultations and care management will be undertaken for patients who face any non-biomechanical foot problems, such as dermatological issues and diabetic foot care.

Our team of podiatrists regularly attend ongoing education courses and seminars in order to stay at the top of their profession and provide you with the very best podiatric care that you deserve. This along with our innovative clinical systems ensure all care management meet the highest standards and our friendly and competent administrative staff are well trained to ensure that every aspect of your footcare is to your satisfaction.

Initial biomechanical consultations take about an hour to complete and involve a thorough taking of history, extensive physical and stance assessment (standing, walking and lying down), as well as comprehensive video gait analysis reporting.

In some cases, this may include revision of previous diagnostic tests (x-ray, CT scan or MRI), and digital 3D scanning of the contours of the feet for custom foot orthotic fabrication. We give written notes, exercise instructions if applicable and gait analysis reports upon request

If you have been referred to the centre, this information is also forwarded to the referrer along with a comprehensive letter of care management. Most patients are amazed at the level of clinical detail strive for in order to provide the best service and care management available.

We are unfortunately unable to provide direct billing options with insurance companies in Singapore. However, we can write letters of diagnosis and fill out insurance claim forms so that patients can file claims with their insurance companies directly.
