Frequently Asked Questions

There is now a satellite clinic in Alcester, Warwickshire for existing and new patients from the Stratford, Bidford, Evesham and Alcester areas. It is based at MD Physiotherapy @ The Greig Lifestyles.

Due to the length of experience and extent of training of the podiatrists at Health First, we are able to assess and diagnose all but the rarest foot-related pathologies, the vast majority of which are treatable by us.

Initial appointments range from £52 - £106 depending on the level of assessment required.

Follow-up appointments range from £32 - £46 depending on the amount of treatment required.

Packages of care for the treatment of specific conditions are available and will be discussed after assessment of the condition(s).

We are a clinic that sees private fee-paying clients. These charges are the same for all clients, irrespective of age. NHS patients are able to be seen but there are no reduced fees or discounts available.

However, our fees are very competitive and represent excellent value for money as we always try to improve foot problems and even cure them where possible. In the long-term, this can result in less need to see a Chiropodist/Podiatrist, thereby providing potential cost-savings for clients.

Bunions are a symptom of an underlying problem with the mechanics of the foot and sometimes inappropriate footwear contributes to the problem. We are able to treat the abnormal mechanics and provide appropriate advice on the care of bunions.

We are registered with all major Health Insurers. However, each one has different criteria that even vary according to the level of cover you have. Some insurers require a letter of referral from a Consultant or GP, others just require a receipt from ourselves for you to claim back any fees paid.

Please check your insurance cover as the onus is on you to settle any invoices – do not assume they will pay our fees.
