Our Service Objective

Painful disorders of the foot can affect both work and leisure. This can interfere with mobility and affect your quality of life. Our key objective is to provide the highest surgical skill level and expertise. We embrace established and proven surgical techniques together with emerging innovations and techniques in podiatric surgical and conservative care to offer you the best available treatments at all times.

 

Consultation Appointment

At your first appointment the Consultant may take your history, examine you, and arrange any tests (e.g. x-ray films). He will advise you about the most appropriate treatment. If surgery is necessary the Consultant will discuss the surgery with you and arrange pre-surgical tests. If all is well we can arrange a suitable date for your operation.

Who Performs the Surgery?

The Consultant in Podiatric Surgery performs operations. Mr. Fellner specializes exclusively in foot surgery.

Pain Free Foot Surgery

Using advanced local anaesthetic techniques your surgery can be performed without pain. Because it is no longer necessary to put you to sleep for the surgery you can be back home soon after your operation.

The Operating Room

All of our operations are performed at the local hospital. It is the safest place for your operation. We understand your worries about an operation and will take extra care to ensure your comfort at all times.

 

Health Insurance

If you have private insurance it is often possible to claim for consultations and / or treatment. You are strongly advised to check with your own health insurance provider, since the extent of health cover is variable.

We politely advise patients that it is normal practice to request payment ahead of treatment, with or without health insurance. In the event of a claim we will be happy to assist you.
