What Are the Advantages of Podiatrist House Calls?

If you need medical attention, you may be able to choose between heading to the doctor’s office or requesting a house call. Which option should you choose? In this article, we’ll highlight the reasons why requesting a house call could be the smarter move on your part.

For starters, there are people out there who may not be able to travel. Elderly patients and those with severe foot or leg injuries may not be able to endure the commute to the doctor’s office even in a private car. Their only option may be to stay at home and hope that a podiatrist can attend to their needs.

Other people who may prefer house calls are those who are too busy to commute. A parent caring for multiple young kids at home may not be able to carve out time for a clinic visit. They may need the podiatrist to visit their house so their child’s feet can be examined and treated.

House calls also eliminate uncomfortable wait times. If you have a serious foot or leg injury, waiting in line may not be something you can endure. You can bypass that long wait by paying for a house call.

What Will Happen during Your Podiatrist House Call?

Hopefully, you’ll be able to find a podiatrist who can respond to your house call. If you do, allow us to give a rundown of what you can expect.

The consultation will likely begin with a conversation. Take this opportunity to talk about your medical history and also mention the specific issues you are having to the doctor. Be as descriptive as you can be while discussing your foot or leg problems so your podiatrist can have an easier time determining the specific issue.

Your podiatrist will then start examining your feet and legs. They will perform an ocular inspection and look for anything unusual.

There is a chance that the doctor may be unable to accurately diagnose your specific condition during that house call. In that case, they may ask you to visit their clinic so they can use their equipment to examine you better.

If the podiatrist can identify the issue during the house call, they will provide treatment immediately. You can get better without ever leaving your home.
