5 Best Podiatrist Services in Ottawa

Been struggling with an ingrown toenail or discomfort from bunions rubbing against tight shoes? Hopefully, this listicle should come as a relief. 

We’re going to be reviewing the best podiatrist services in Ottawa today. In the next section, we’ll also be tackling the costs associated with getting your foot checked by a professional.

How Much Does a Podiatrist Cost in Ottawa?

Several factors can dictate the cost of seeing a podiatrist in Ottawa. Fees can depend on the complexity of a procedure, if it’s covered by insurance or OHIP, and if special equipment, tools, or medication are required.

To help both patients and medical practitioners, the Ontario Society of Chiropodists published a guide to its industry’s services fees. We selected some common services from the guide with their corresponding estimated costs in the table below.

PODIATRIST SERVICE	ESTIMATED COST
Examination and diagnosis	$60 – $120
Laser therapy for fungal nail	One nail $100 – $300 Two – five nails $150 – $300 Six to eight nails $225 – $400 All toenails $500 – $800 Full case fee $500 – $2,500
Toenail brace	$75 – $150 per toe
Total contact cast (initial and serial applications)	$290 – $350
Custom made prescription foot orthotic	$445 – $2,800
Laser treatment for plantar warts	$125 – $250 per session

Most insurance plans can cover foot-related services and treatments. But because surgeries performed by podiatrists are not typically covered by OHIP, you’re going to have to pay out of pocket for those.  

Custom-made footwear, orthotics, and biomechanical services could have varying fees depending on the podiatrist clinic or service you choose. It would be best to request an assessment for both service and pricing before the procedure with both the podiatrist and your insurance provider.

Greenberg Podiatry provides quality foot care by way of routine checkups, diagnosis and assessments, treatments, and surgery. It’s open during weekdays and also offers medical spa pedicures and safety footwear.

The clinic is headed by the main podiatrist Dr. David Greenberg along with Dr. Stephan Davis who has extensive experience with sports-related foot injuries. Greenberg Podiatry is also staffed by several podiatric assistants and an administrative team.

Together, the team treats a wide range of foot-related concerns. Sprains, ankle instabilities, bone spurs and blisters, bunions, fungal and ingrown nails, shin splints, warts, and even flat feet and injuries are just some of the issues they can diagnose and treat. 

To make things more convenient for patients, its website has a virtual portal so clients can get advice on immediate foot care concerns. There are three steps required to use this portal with a photo requirement of the client’s foot so specialists can assess it ASAP.

However, information on some parts of the website is still being updated so there’s no way of knowing about the price of certain services.

Customer Reviews

Excellent surgeon, wonderful staff

“I would not have my feet if I didn’t have Dr. Greenberg. He is an excellent surgeon and his staff is wonderful.” – Laurie Atkinson

Worked wonders

“This place has been awesome! I had a very nasty fungus as a result of a large section of an old tree falling on my toe. I never thought my nail would be normal again but they have worked wonders and the new growth is amazingly good! I cannot say enough good things about these folks! My daughter has ingrown toenail surgery done elsewhere and it was awful. I only wish we had known about these folks sooner. Keep up the great work!” – Shirley Mills

SERVICES	Geriatric and senior foot care, custom foot orthotics, treatment of corns and calluses, treatment of nails, treatment of warts, shockwave therapy, magnetic biostimulation
ADDRESS	#570-1335 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, ON, K1Z 8N8
CONTACT NUMBER	613-724-3668 [email protected]
WEBSITE	https://www.ottawafoothealthcentre.ca/
OPERATING HOURS	Mondays and Tuesdays 8 AM – 4 PM Wednesdays 9.30 AM – 5.30 PM Thursdays 8 AM – 4 PM Friday Special Clinics Closed on Saturdays and Sundays

The Ottawa Foot Health Centre is primarily focused on chiropody so its practice is to assess, treat, and prevent foot-related diseases. Its treatments include orthotic, surgical, and therapeutic procedures via a comprehensive menu of podiatric services.

This means they can do everything from cutting toenails (whether it’s ingrown or not) and removing calluses, warts, and corns to providing orthotic therapy. 

Children, adults, and senior patients are welcome at the clinic. In fact, one of its specializations is geriatric foot care with an emphasis on diabetes and arthritis-related foot concerns.

It would be good to have some base pricing information for services, though, especially since custom foot orthotics are on the menu.

Patients with Achilles tendonitis and foot ulcers can utilize the podiatric innovations at the Ottawa Foot Health Centre. The clinic uses both shockwave therapy and magnetic biostimulation therapy to bridge the gap between operative and non-operative treatments.

The downside is that it’s open only on weekdays with Fridays reserved for special clinic services.

The podiatrists at the Orleans Dynamic Foot Clinic believe that feet and lower body pain are often connected. That’s why the clinic provides customized foot orthotics to help restore the feet’s balance and alignment.

Its team can also treat a variety of foot-related conditions including flat feet, bursitis, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot ulcers, tendonitis, and most kinds of heel and foot pain. 

It takes pride in using the latest technology for accurate diagnosis. The clinic utilizes CryoVizion technology to see postural imbalances and misalignment, and a non-invasive pain treatment called Theralase cold laser therapy.

Even very young patients with postural or biomechanical issues are welcome for diagnosis and treatment at the Orleans Dynamic Foot Clinic. Its specialists believe in providing an early remedy for foot-related fatigue or pain so it won’t carry over into adulthood.

The clinic is open from Monday to Thursday at various operating hours (please refer to the table above) which makes scheduling a bit confusing. Though it accepts walk-in patients, it warns about potential longer wait times for non-appointments.

The Ottawa Foot and Ankle Clinic is headed by a registered chiropodist, Octavia Hristea, who specializes in ingrown toenail surgery, wart removal procedures, and other chiropody and pedorthics services.

The clinic offers orthotics made on-site, along with orthopedic shoes and biomechanical examinations and diagnoses. Apart from those, its specialists can treat ingrown toenails, plantar warts, corns, calluses, fungal nails, bunions, and most knee, toe, ankle, heel, or foot pain.

Most of its services are covered by extended insurance plans so it’s best to ask your insurance provider about it. The clinic also welcomes walk-in emergencies.

It’s upfront about its rates, too. Initial consultation already includes first treatment at just $75, while custom-made orthotics start at $450 for the first pair and tapers to $250 if made within three months of the first pair.

However, it’s a bit of a letdown that the clinic is open only on four weekdays with different operating hours. 

Customer Reviews

Professional, dedicated, and very patient

“Thank you Octavia and Sonia for an outstanding experience so far. I was in pain when I first came to the clinic last year, but Octavia performed her magic and I felt amazing after just one treatment. The same happened to my mom and we are both grateful for Octavia’s help. Octavia is incredibly kind, caring, knowledgeable and always helpful. And Sonia is also delightful to deal with, so professional, dedicated and very patient. Because of these wonderful professionals every visit to the clinic is a real pleasure, even when I am in pain.” – Daniela

Advice for prevention/general footwear education was spot on

“I was thoroughly impressed by the service and professionalism of the team at the Ottawa Foot and Ankle Clinic. Octavia Hristea and her team were fantastic with my little toddler – he had ingrown toenails and is generally shy and afraid of people he doesn’t know. But the team put him at ease and performed the required foot and nail care in such a way that it was a very good experience. The advice for prevention / general footwear education was spot on – and helpful! Thanks a lot, highly recommended team.” – Fabian Schwarz

5. Ottawa Foot Clinic

SERVICES	Treatment and relief for most toenail, foot, and ankle conditions, sports injuries

OPERATING HOURS	Monday to Wednesday 9 AM – 6 PM Thursdays 9 AM – 4 PM Fridays 9 AM – 5 PM Closed on Saturdays and Sundays

The Ottawa Foot Clinic can do custom-made orthotics that support not just the feet but also a patient’s knees, hips, and spine. Doing this not only addresses overpronation but also improves a client’s overall physical agility and energy levels.

The clinic offers both adult and pediatric orthotics and even offers an array of colourful designs to choose from like butterflies and rainbow patterns. Its pediatric orthotics aims to correct gait disorders permanently while supporting fallen arches.

But apart from orthotics, the Ottawa Foot Clinic also treats most toenail, foot, and ankle conditions. Ingrown or fungal nail infection, plantar warts, plantar fasciitis, cracked heels, and most sports injuries are all part of the clinic’s services.

Patients with chronic foot pain can also avail of laser therapy which is a standalone foot pain reduction treatment. It’s done over four sessions with laser therapy done twice a week for two weeks.

Unfortunately, the clinic is open only on weekdays so patients are going to have to plan around the workweek to schedule their laser therapy treatments.
