What is involved in an home visit?

During the first part of the visit, Dr. Matika will talk to you about your symptoms and discuss any pain or discomfort you may be experiencing. She'll also ask you about any previous injuries, surgeries or conditions of your feet or lower legs, as well as any medical conditions you may currently be dealing with, like diabetes or heart disease. After discussing your condition and medical history, Dr. Matika will gently examine your foot and ankle area so she can assess your condition, make a diagnosis and initiate treatments to help you feel better and improve your mobility when possible. She'll also make recommendations that can help you ensure your feet stay healthy between visits.

Is it OK for my caregiver or family member be involved in my visit?

Of course; many patients prefer to have someone else present during the exam so they have an “extra set of ears” to listen to the information the doctor provides during the exam, and also to ask questions the patient may have overlooked. Plus, when someone else is involved in your care, it can be helpful for them to hear firsthand how they can help you feel better.
