When a Second Opinion Helps
Not every foot or ankle problem follows the textbook, and treatment doesn't always work first time. If you've been going in circles, a thorough 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 opinion on what's going on and what your realistic options are - including whether surgery is worth considering.

Second Opinions FAQs
The questions patients ask us most about second opinions.
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 job is to give you an accurate, independent assessment and a way forward - not to run down other clinicians. Sometimes we'll confirm the previous direction was right; sometimes we'll suggest a different one.
Can you advise me about surgery I've been offered?
Yes. We can assess you independently and, where relevant, arrange a consultation with the Registered Specialist Podiatric Surgeon on our team so you can make an informed decision.
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.
