“How To Avoid the 5 Biggest Mistakes People Make When Choosing a Podiatrist!” Discover Everything You Need to Know Before You Choose a Podiatrist… From the desk of Dr. Dear Friend, Do you have foot pain or other issues with your feet and you’re getting sick and tired of the pain and suffering? Are you thinking of going to a Podiatrist but you’re unsure on who to choose? If so, you’re going to love this little report. It’s so important because your feet are nothing to play games with... untreated foot problems can cause untold damage. If you want to save time, effort, money and un-needed suffering, it’s extremely important that you correctly choose a Podiatrist, one that can give you the precise results you’re looking for. But unfortunately, many people don’t know what to look for when choosing a Podiatrist… And as a result, they end up making major mistakes. For one, they could end up with incorrect diagnosis and wasted money on incorrect solutions… But don’t worry, I’m about to tell you how to avoid these and a few other mistakes many people make when choosing a Podiatrist… And by familiarizing you with these common mistakes, you make sure you never end up with a disastrous experience!
Many people think shopping around is what everyone should do when they make a purchase. And I agree, shopping around is good, however, it’s also a major factor in procrastination. If you were thinking about buying a new house, would you buy the first one a real estate agent showed you? Probably not… Unless you knew it was the perfect house for you! Well, the same goes for choosing a Podiatrist! Just like your home, your feet are something you “live in” day in and day out, 24 hours a day, seven days a week… and before you commit to a particular Podiatrist, you need to do your homework and “shop around”. BUT, if you know you’ve found someone you like, you trust and that has a proven track record….it’s time to stop shopping around and take action! Start by looking through your local yellow pages or google and make a list of Podiatrists in your area. Next, make an appointment with one Podiatrist. A good Podiatrist will be willing to book an appointment to speak with you one-on-one about what issues or complications you have with your feet. When you meet with the Podiatrist, take note of the environment: Do you feel comfortable asking them questions, or do you feel rushed? How clean is the facility? What are the staff like? Keep your eyes open and take in everything you can. Also, most Podiatrists should have testimonials from their patients… if you don’t see these available, don’t be afraid to ask for them. It’s also wise to ask for permission to contact two or three past patients to find out what their experience with the Podiatrist was like. Are they happy with their results? Did they have any complications or other problems after their procedure? If so, how did the doctor respond? These are all excellent things to find out. Once you feel comfortable, go for it!
There ARE Podiatrists out there who have been trained specifically in particular procedures… Be sure that your Podiatrist has experience dealing with your particular issue. Here’s how: In addition to asking for references (as we mentioned above), check to see if your Podiatrist is a member of the American Podiatric Medical Association. The APMA is an organization of Podiatrists who are committed to the highest levels of education and advancement in the area of Podiatry. In fact, the APMA is made up of an elite, highly-trained group of thousands of Podiatrist from around the world!
Here’s the scenario… you tell a Podiatrist what issues you are having with your feet… how does he or she respond? If you tell the Podiatrist of your foot pain, and the Podiatrist simply recommends surgery without giving you any other options, you may have a problem. Why? Well, surgery may be an extreme solution for someone who just has ulcers or foot pain. Mistake #3 is not gathering all the facts. Make sure your Podiatrist explains all of your options before you make a decision. Some Podiatrist will try and get you to commit to the most expensive treatments to fatten their pocketbooks, others are going to give you the perfect solution which may also cost more than you expected… but unfortunately many people don’t question what a Podiatrist tells them…be different. Ask questions. However, if you find someone you trust, you can know they are giving you the correct solutions and advise. This is why it’s so important to find someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. Many people think some Podiatrists are out for a big pay day. And some may be. But this is not the norm, But keep in mind that there are many Podiatrists out there that put the best needs of their patients first! These Podiatrists will provide you with a good range of options to choose from, rather than recommending the most expensive treatment even though it’s not needed… and these are the Podiatrists you want to book your treatment with.
Unfortunately, many people won’t question what a Podiatrist tells them because they think: “Well, he or she is the expert…”. Well, it’s also very common that people will give their business to a Podiatrist who makes them feel downright uncomfortable, thinking that great results are worth enduring bad bedside manner… But this is a mistake! A good Podiatrist puts the needs of their patient first, and as a result, wants to make sure you get all of your questions answered. And consequently, these are the same kinds of Podiatrists that are committed to making sure you come out of any treatment 100% satisfied with your results! Just as you deserve healthy feet, you also deserve good care from your Podiatrist AND his or her staff. If a Podiatrist makes you feel uncomfortable in any way — if they are abrasive or rude, coldly rush you in and out of their office, or keep you waiting for a long period of time with no explanation — trust your gut, know that you deserve better, and grab your things and go. Remember: You are the customer! Don’t ever settle for shoddy treatment. If you don’t feel valued by a dentist or his or her staff, don’t waste your time or money with them — you’re worth more than that!
Mistake #5: Don’t choose a “Deep Discount” dentist! What’s a “discount Podiatrist”? Good question! This is someone who advertises ridiculously low, rock bottom deals for particular treatments. If four Podiatrists are quoting you same amount for a particular treatment, but a fifth one offers to do the treatment for significantly less, consider this a red flag. Not a deal breaker, but definitely a red flag. Ask the lower price dentist why they’re much lower. The Podiatrist may be really hurting for business and wants YOUR business… and this may not be a good thing. Why? Typically, a GOOD Podiatrist is a busy Podiatrist! Unless someone is just starting out and if that’s the case, low prices still must be explained. Also, keep in mind that you get what you pay for — a deep discount may be a sign that the quality of treatment may not be up to ideal standards. Again, get references. And remember, these are your feet were talking about here! You don’t want to cut any corners in making sure your feet are as healthy as possible.
