Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about visiting our Markham chiropody clinic.
In Ontario, both chiropodists and podiatrists are primary care foot specialists regulated by the College of Chiropodists of Ontario. They undergo rigorous clinical training and hold the same scope of practice, including treating skin and nail disorders, performing soft-tissue foot surgery, and prescribing custom orthotics. Essentially, both are experts dedicated exclusively to diagnosing and treating lower-limb conditions.
We treat a wide variety of foot and ankle issues, ranging from everyday skin and nail problems to complex structural pain. Common conditions include ingrown toenails, fungal nails, corns, calluses, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, bunions, flat feet, sports injuries, and foot complications related to diabetes.
No, you do not need a medical doctor's referral to schedule a visit with us. You can contact our Markham clinic directly to book your appointment. However, if you plan to use private health insurance coverage, it is always a good idea to check your specific policy beforehand, as some extended health plans occasionally require a doctor’s note for reimbursement.
Your initial appointment involves a comprehensive evaluation of your foot health and medical history. Your chiropodist will examine your skin, nails, joints, and lower-limb mechanics (including how you walk). Based on these findings, we will discuss your foot issue, provide immediate treatment if needed, and outline a personalized long-term care plan.
Routine chiropody care, custom orthotics, and biomechanical assessments are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). However, most extended health insurance plans through employers or private providers cover a significant portion of chiropody services and custom orthotics. We recommend checking with your insurance provider regarding your specific paramedical limits.
Yes, Mount Joy Foot Clinic offers direct billing to many major extended health insurance providers (such as Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife, and others via electronic portals like Telus Health), meaning you may not have to pay out-of-pocket for the full amount upfront.
Because every insurance policy is different, we recommend checking with your specific provider before your visit to confirm your exact coverage details and whether direct billing is available for your specific plan. If direct billing is not supported by your provider for any reason, we will provide you with a detailed itemized receipt that you can easily submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Payment can be made by VISA, Mastercard, AMEX (yes, we accept), Debit, Cash and e-transfers. We do not accept cheque payments.
Patient safety and infection control are our absolute top priorities. All reusable instruments undergo a strict, medical-grade sterilization process using specialized autoclaves, meeting or exceeding all provincial health and safety standards. Single-use items are discarded immediately after each appointment.
