THE REFERRAL PROCESS

You do not need a referral from your family doctor to see a podiatrist. Podiatrists are the specialists that deal entirely with foot problems.

Fortunately, foot problems are very rarely life threatening.

It became apparent to the medical authorities that most foot problems seen by the family doctor would be sent to the podiatrist.

The government decided it was not necessary to require patients to obtain a referral from the family doctor to see the podiatrist.

If you have foot pain, please call us. No referral is needed.

Your podiatrist is the most qualified specialist to recognize foot conditions and get you treated promptly and effectively.

The Emergency Ward at Prince George Regional Hospital refers their toenail patients to Dr. Bell.
