Fnq Podiatry & Orthotics Pty Ltd

BEWARE from my experience of having a very known problem of a corn, to be such. A Doctor must "declare" this and to refer you to a Podiatrist. Otherwise you will receive no medicare benefit IF you are deemed eligible. I had seen a Doctor prior but was not advised or offered a referral. Apparently the Podiatrist cant advise you re the referral as you may or may not be eligible for a benefit by medicare. Should medicare provide a benefit you cant also claim private insurance apparently. Although I mentioned I was an aged pensioner when I enquired with this practice as I was concerned about the $100 charge. I ended up paying the whole amount. Doctors no longer do this service but charge a consultation fee charged to medicare who then are charge again by the Podiatrist. My time in waiting rooms and travel costs dont matter or taxpayers money. It appears that medical practitioners and specialists dont "discuss" these double or triple costs with the Government or care to "steamline" the system. Our medical benefits in Australia are not free and should not be abused. I have no problems with my 15 minute simple treatment at this practice just had not expected to pay for it in full despite my time spent prior to it and not being able to be properly informed.

I have had excellent service at both Redlynch and Smithfield clinics. All clinicians and administrative team members were understanding and extremely accommodating given my pain issues. Cannot fault them!

Fantastic experience at every single one of the locations I’ve attended. Highly recommend as service is impeccable and treatment is priced very reasonably.

I was refered to Chris Murry complaing of sore feet He was very thorough in explaining the diagnosis and treatment options, which included physical therapy and custom orthotics. I was impressed with his knowledge and his ability to make me feel comfortable and at ease. I am now looking forward to using my new orthotics The clinic staff were also friendly and helpful. Overall, I am very happy with the care I received and would highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking a podiatrist."

I had a fantastic experience at FNQ Podiatry with Callum. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, making me feel completely at ease during my visit. His expertise and attention to detail were impressive, and I really appreciate the quality of care I received. I'm very thankful to have such a great clinic in Smithfield. Highly recommend!
