Only required once for new patients, and not for follow-ups. It usually takes 2-3 minutes to complete. You can also complete it ahead of your appointment during your own time.
I will receive you in the consultation room where you will tell me about your foot and/or ankle concerns. I might ask some questions that will help me understand the full picture of your condition.
Following the initial “history taking”, I will proceed to examine your feet and ankles. You will be invited to remove your shoes and socks , so a number of gentle tests can be performed.
I will explain the findings observed during the examination in lay terms and come up with a diagnosis for the condition/s that your are dealing with.
To confirm the suspected diagnosis further investigations are ordinarily needed. Typically these involve one or more imaging tests. ( X-rays, Ultrasound, CT-scan, MRI-scan ). They could also include blood tests or other imaging modalities. I will explain the nature of the required investigation during our consultation
Hopefully at the end of the consultation you will be at ease with the condition that has been bothering you. I am confident that after time and treatment you will be able to see significant improvement. Before seeing you off I will inform you of the next steps.
We accept insured, self-funding or embassy-sponsored patients.
Self-funding
For any other surgery fees please ask the office for a specific quote.
Payment for treatment – Finance your surgery
Before your surgery, you will receive an invoice with your full package price. You can choose to finance your procedure upfront or in monthly instalments. You can pay by credit or debit card, BACS, or through our finance partner, Chrysalis. We offer flexible finance options to spread the cost of treatment, with plans ranging from 1 to 5 years with a fixed 14.9% APR. You can choose to finance the full amount or pay part and part with savings. The minimum loan amount is £350. Contact us to discuss your financing options.

* Ask about Self-pay Packages for surgical interventions (all-inclusive), and Flexible payment plans to finance your treatment. Free initial consultation when purchasing the Self-pay Package.
Insurance
Mr Malagelada is recognized as a Specialist Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon by all the major insurers. As such, the costs of your consultation with me, investigations, and treatment are covered by your policy. Please contact your insurance company prior to your first consultation to obtain an authorization number to see me. It is my philosophy not to charge patients in excess of the health insurers established limits. Please note that insurance companies do not usually cover costs of orthotics, post-operative shoes, walking boots, braces or crutches which are the responsibility of the patient.
Accepted insurers include the following; for others please ask the office:
Embassy
If you are being sponsored by your government, all we need to arrange your care is a signed “letter of guarantee” from your sponsor authorizing payment for your tests or consultation. We could help you with this process as we have vast experience in dealing with embassies.
With established experience in treating international patients, we will guide you through the enquiry process to make it very simple for you and your family. We can arrange treatment for overseas patients, either through an Embassy, sponsoring organisation or directly from your country of residence. Our team of international coordinators will help you arrange appointments, assist with hospital admissions and provide recommendations and guidance throughout your stay. Online virtual appointments and second opinions are also available to offer you the best experience from the comfort of your home.
