Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Heel Pain Management
Do I need a referral to see a podiatrist in Singapore?
No referral is required. You can book directly with our podiatrists at Straits Podiatry. However, if you have a referral letter or any past medical records, it is advisable to bring them to your appointment.
Do you accept walk-ins?
Our clinics operate mainly by appointment to ensure proper consultation time. Booking ahead is recommended. We may be able to provide same-day appointment depending on our schedule. Contact us directly to check availability.
Why should I see a Podiatrist for my heel pain?
Heel pain is rarely just about where it hurts — it’s about how your foot functions when you walk, stand, and move every day. Compared to other healthcare professionals, podiatrists bring a foot-first perspective that is often critical for heel pain.
A podiatrist also offers specialised expertise in non-surgical treatment of heel pain. If you are looking to avoid short-term fixes like injections or higher-risk options such as surgery, consulting a podiatrist may be a good option for you.
Do you accept insurance or company medical benefits?
Coverage depends on your insurer and policy. Some policies allow patients to claim their consultation and treatment fees under outpatient or allied health benefits.
We recommend checking directly with your insurer, and our team can provide the necessary documentation if applicable.
Why can’t you quote a fixed price before the appointment?
Every foot and lower-limb condition varies in complexity and severity. Treatment fees vary based on the type of treatment and the number of sessions. Our podiatrists can only clearly explain the findings and options after assessing your condition, so that you can make informed decisions without pressure.
How do I know if this is the right clinic for me?
Our consultations focus on thorough assessment, clear explanation, and personalised care. We allocate sufficient time for proper evaluation rather than rushed visits.
So if you value a clear understanding of your condition and a well-explained personalised plan, rather than quick, generic consultations, Straits Podiatry is a good fit for you.
