Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist in Calgary?
Yes. Because our consultations are covered by Alberta Health Care, a referral from a physician or nurse practitioner is required. Referrals can be sent by your family physician, walk-in clinic physician, specialist, or other qualified healthcare provider.
Is my appointment covered by Alberta Health Care?
Initial consultations and medically necessary follow-up appointments are covered by Alberta Health Care for Alberta residents with a valid health care card.
Some treatments, devices, custom orthotics, medications, and uninsured services are not covered by Alberta Health Care. Our staff will discuss any potential costs with you before proceeding with treatment.
What conditions do you treat?
Our surgeons diagnose and treat a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, including:
- Bunions
- Hammertoes
- Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendon disorders
- Arthritis of the foot and ankle
- Flat feet and high arches
- Sports injuries

- Neuromas

- Nerve compression disorders
- Skin and soft tissue masses
- Many other painful or complex foot conditions
If you're unsure whether we treat your condition, please contact our office and we'd be happy to help.
Do you accept patients from out of province?
Yes. We welcome patients from across Canada and the United States. However, there will be a charge for the appointments as we cannot bill other provincial health plans.
What happens during my first appointment?
Your first visit typically includes a comprehensive evaluation of your foot or ankle problem. One of our surgeons will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and review any imaging that has been completed and x-rays taken at the clinic.
Following your assessment, we'll explain your diagnosis, discuss treatment options, answer your questions, and develop a personalized treatment plan. If additional imaging or testing is required, we'll arrange that as appropriate.
Can you direct bill my insurance for services not covered by Alberta Health Care?
Yes, for many extended health insurance plans. Direct billing is available for eligible uninsured services whenever possible. Coverage varies between insurance providers and individual plans, so patients remain responsible for any amounts not covered by their insurer.
How long is the wait to get an appointment?
Wait times vary depending on the urgency of your condition and the type of referral received. Our goal is to see patients as quickly as possible while prioritizing urgent and time-sensitive conditions.
If your referring healthcare provider believes your condition requires urgent assessment, please ensure this is clearly indicated on your referral. Most non-urgent patients are seen within 1-3 months.
Do you perform surgery, and where are surgeries performed?
Yes. Our surgeons perform a wide variety of foot and ankle surgical procedures, ranging from minimally invasive procedures to complex reconstructive surgery.
Surgeries are performed in accredited surgical facilities and hospitals throughout Alberta. The appropriate location depends on the type of procedure, your medical history, and your individual needs.
Will I need surgery, or are there non-surgical treatment options?
Not necessarily. Many foot and ankle conditions can be successfully treated without surgery.
Whenever appropriate, we begin with conservative treatment options such as activity modification, footwear recommendations, stretching programs, bracing, medications, injections, orthotics, or physical therapy. Surgery is generally recommended only when non-surgical treatment has not provided sufficient relief or when surgery is considered the most effective treatment for your condition.
What should I bring to my appointment?
- Your Alberta Health Care card
- A list of your current medications
- Any relevant imaging reports or CDs if completed outside Alberta Netcare
- Any braces, orthotics, or special footwear you currently use
- Comfortable clothing that allows easy examination of your foot and ankle
- A list of any questions you would like to discuss with your surgeon
Do you treat children as well as adults?
Yes. We assess and treat patients of all ages, including children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. Some conditions are unique to growing feet, and early assessment can often help prevent future problems.
Do I need X-rays, an ultrasound, or an MRI before my appointment?
Not usually. If your referring healthcare provider has already arranged imaging, please ensure the results are available on Netcare before your appointment whenever possible. We have X-rays on site if your condition requires imaging.
If additional imaging is needed after your assessment, your surgeon will arrange the appropriate tests. We prefer to order only the imaging that is necessary based on your examination and diagnosis.
