New Patients
Welcome to My Foot Medic
We’re so pleased you’ve found us. Whether you’re dealing with an injury, an ingrown toenail, or just want more comfort, our friendly Bedford podiatry team is here to help.
At My Foot Medic, new patients are always welcome. From the moment you contact us, you’ll be treated with warmth, respect, and clear communication about every step of your care.
What to Expect at Your First Visit
We know that seeing a podiatrist for the first time might feel a little daunting, so here’s exactly what will happen when you visit us at our Bedford clinic.
- Please use the emailed link to submit your medical history form online.
- Bring along any current insoles, orthotics, or regularly worn footwear that you use.
- If you are attending for a nail issue, please remove any gels or nail polish before your appointment.
You’ll be welcomed by our friendly front-of-house team and shown to a comfortable treatment room. During your appointment, your podiatrist will discuss your concerns, symptoms, and goals. Depending on your needs, we’ll either carry out a full assessment of your feet, ankles, knees and lower limbs (including gait analysis if needed) or focus on your skin, nails, and general foot health. We’ll explain our findings in clear, simple language and discuss the most suitable care or treatment options with you.
In many cases, treatment can begin immediately, whether that’s nail or skin care, pain management, or starting your rehabilitation plan. Some procedures, such as minor operations, steroid injections, or more complex treatments, may need to be scheduled for a later date.
We’ll always explain what we’re doing and why, so you can feel confident and comfortable knowing you’re in safe hands.
First appointments usually last around 30 minutes for skin or nail concerns, and up to 60 minutes for musculoskeletal injury and movement assessments. This allows your podiatrist time to fully understand your needs, carry out a thorough assessment, and discuss the best treatment or care plan with you.
Initial Appointment Pricing:
- Skin or nail initial appointment: £95
- Musculoskeletal assessment: £125
We’ll always explain what’s included and give you a clear breakdown of any costs before treatment begins. Our aim is to identify the cause of your symptoms and create a plan that genuinely improves your comfort and mobility. Many treatments are included in your appointment cost, though some may incur an additional fee.
Choosing the Right Appointment
We want to make sure you’re booked with the best clinician for your specific needs, so you get the right care from day one.
When booking online, please take a moment to read the appointment descriptions carefully – each type of appointment is tailored to a particular concern.
If you have pain, discomfort, or reduced movement in your feet, ankles, knees, or legs, you’ll need an MSK appointment.
- Best for recent or single-area pain.
Choose this appointment if:
- Your pain has been present for less than 3 months
- Symptoms are in one specific area (e.g. heel, ankle, or forefoot)
This appointment is great for new or localised issues.
If, during your visit, your podiatrist feels your case needs a more detailed or advanced assessment, we’ll recommend a follow-up with our Senior MSK Podiatrist to ensure you receive the most appropriate care.
*Point-Of-Care Ultrasound Imaging is not available during this appointment type
- Ideal for complex, long-standing, or multi-site pain – but suitable for all MSK patients.
Choose this appointment if:
- You have any kind of foot, ankle, knee or leg pain, no matter how recent or long-term
- Your pain affects one or more than one area (e.g. pain in both feet)
- You may have seen other professionals or tried other treatments
- You’d like a comprehensive biomechanical assessment with a Senior MSK Podiatrist
This appointment provides a thorough assessment, diagnosis, and a tailored treatment plan to help you move comfortably again.
*Imaging (such as Ultrasound, X-Ray or MRI), comes with an additional fee when required.
If your concern involves:
- General foot care (nail and skin maintenance)
- Hard skin or corns
- Ingrown, fungal nails or damaged nails
- Verrucae or cracked heels
- Or more complex concerns like diabetic care of complications
Book an Initial Appointment – Skin & Nail Appointment with any one of our podiatrists.
Our admin team may contact you before your visit to make sure you’re booked with the clinician best suited to your needs.
