\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion _builder_version=”4.5.3″ hover_enabled=”0″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When is Mr. Kannegieter available for appointments?” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.5.3″ hover_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

Mr. Kannegieter is available by appointment at both the Phoenix Hospital Chelmsford and 9 Harley Street, London. For a general enquiry please contact Mr Kannegieter\u2019s secretary Nikki Freeman on 07808643950 or email enquiries@kannfootsurgery.com.<\/a><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What happens during my appointment?” _builder_version=”3.2.2″ open=”off”]Upon arrival, you\u2019ll head straight for the main reception desk at the Braintree Hospital where you\u2019ll be asked to check in by our friendly reception team.<\/p>\n

Once checked in you\u2019ll be asked to take a seat in our waiting room where you\u2019ll be able to help yourself to tea, coffee and fresh water.<\/p>\n

If it is your first time visiting Mr. Kannegieter you will be asked to complete our initial consult paperwork, so that we may register you as a new patient.<\/p>\n

We try our best to run to a tight schedule so you shouldn\u2019t be kept waiting very long and Mr. Kannegieter or one of the friendly nursing team will invite you into the consulting room when it\u2019s time for your appointment.<\/p>\n

During your consultation, Mr. Kannegieter will listen to your description of your foot or ankle pain, ask you about your medical and medication history and together you will decide on the best treatment plan for you.<\/p>\n

This may involve referring you for further tests such as x-rays or scans (all imaging is completed at The Chelmsford Hospital) and routine blood tests.<\/p>\n

You will be informed every step of the way and Mr. Kannegieter will thoroughly explain the next steps in your treatment plan.
\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”When will treatment start?” _builder_version=”3.2.2″ open=”off”]The good news is that often we are able to initiate treatment on the day of your first consultation, especially where expert advice is needed or recommendations for pain management.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kannegieter can also immediately begin steroid injections and take casts or scans for any orthotics needed during the appointment and it\u2019s our aim to get you back on your feet as soon as possible.
\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What should I wear to the appointment?” _builder_version=”3.2.2″ open=”off”]It is a good idea to arrive in your normal footwear and so that Mr. Kannegieter can properly assess your condition. It is also best to wear a pair of loose fitting trousers in case Mr. Kannegieter needs to examine your lower legs.
\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Is there anything I need to bring to my appointment? ” _builder_version=”3.2.2″ open=”off”]Please bring with you a list of any current medication you are taking, as well as any previous consultant letters or test results regarding your condition. It is also a good idea to have considered your full medical history prior to the appointment.
\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How much will my appointment cost?” _builder_version=”3.2.2″ open=”off”]Please take a look at our latest patient fee\u2019s page<\/a> for up-to-date treatment costs.<\/p>\n

Please note: If you have private health insurance you will need prior authorisation from your provider before treatment can commence.<\/strong>
