Overview

When a Second Opinion Helps

Not every foot or ankle problem follows the textbook, and treatment doesn't always work the first time. If you feel like you've been going in circles, a fresh independent assessment can confirm the diagnosis, reframe it, or uncover something that was missed.

We take on complex and unresolved cases, review your history and any imaging with fresh eyes, and give you an honest view on what's happening and what your realistic options are - including whether surgery is genuinely worth considering.

Common Questions

Second Opinions FAQs

Do I need a referral for a second opinion?

No. You can book a second-opinion consultation directly. If you have referral letters, imaging or reports from previous care, bring them - they help us give you the most useful review.

Will you criticise my previous practitioner?

No. Our role is an accurate, independent assessment and a way forward, not to run down other clinicians. Sometimes we confirm the previous direction was right; sometimes we suggest a different one.

Can you advise on surgery I've been offered?

Yes. We can assess you independently and, where relevant, arrange a surgical work-up with our podiatric surgical registrar or a referral to an appropriate specialist so you can decide with full information.

What should I bring?

Any imaging (X-rays, ultrasound, MRI), reports or referral letters, a list of treatments you've tried, and the footwear or orthotics you currently use.
