Are you covered under OHIP?
The profession of chiropody is considered private practice in Ontario, therefore most foot clinics are not covered by OHIP. We operate more like your dentist or physiotherapist; if you have a private or workplace health insurance plan, we can help you determine your specific coverage. Ontario Works and Ontario Disability Support Program recipients may be eligible for orthotics and/or corrective footwear. Chiropody is covered by Veteran’s Affairs Canada and Non-Insured Health Board.
What is the difference between a Chiropodist vs. Podiatrist?
Both Chiropodists and Podiatrists are regulated healthcare professionals who diagnose, prescribe, and treat disorders of the foot and lower limb. Chiropodists handle routine and specialized foot care, including skin and nail conditions (corns, callouses, ingrown nails), diabetic foot management, biomechanical assessments, custom orthotics, and soft tissue surgeries.
Do I need a referral to see a Chiropodist?
No, you do not need a referral from your family physician. Feel free to book an appointment, anytime.
Do I need an appointment?
While, we do accomodate walk-ins, we cannot guarantee them. Yes, we strongly encourage booking an appointment. This will allow us to better serve you and your foot care needs in a dedicated one-on-one time slot.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We happily accept the following methods of payments: Cash, Debit, Mastercard, Visa, and e-transfers.
