Tailored Assessments, Comprehensive Care
Effective management of diabetic foot complications starts with a thorough understanding of your individual needs. Our clinicians are adept in providing a full spectrum of assessments covering:
- Neurological: Evaluating nerve function to detect signs of neuropathy.
- Vascular: Assessing blood flow to ensure your feet receive proper circulation.
- Dermatological: Checking the skin for ulcers, cracks, and infections.
- Musculoskeletal: Examining the bones, joints, and muscles for changes or deformities.
A Team Approach to Your Foot Health
We believe in the power of collaboration for effective diabetic foot care. That’s why we provide detailed reports to your medical team, ensuring a coordinated approach to your treatment. Our communication extends to your primary care physician, endocrinologist, and any other specialists involved in your care, fostering a unified strategy to manage and prevent diabetic foot complications.
Medicare Support for Your Care
Understanding the financial aspects of diabetic foot care is crucial. We’re pleased to inform our patients that diabetic foot assessments are claimable through Medicare, provided you have a referral from your GP. This support makes it easier for you to access the care you need without undue financial stress.
