Frequently Asked Questions
Here's what we usually get asked.
Do I need a referral from my GP to book a consultation?
No referral is needed to book your free 15-minute consultation with Dr Ozcan. If you decide to proceed with treatment and want to claim a Medicare rebate, we can walk you through exactly what you need at that point. The first step is simply booking the call.
How long is the recovery time after foot surgery?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Minor surgeries can have you back on your feet within a few weeks. More complex reconstructions may take a few months. Dr Ozcan will give you a clear, personalised timeline during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect before you commit to anything.
Will I be able to walk immediately after the procedure?
For minor procedures, most patients walk out in a post-operative shoe the same day. For more involved surgeries, crutches or a knee scooter may be needed for a short period. Dr Ozcan will explain exactly what your recovery will look like before any procedure takes place.
Are the surgical procedures performed under local or general anaesthetic?
Most procedures are performed under general anaesthetic or a regional block in a hospital setting, so you are completely comfortable throughout. Dr Ozcan will recommend the right approach for your specific situation during your consultation.
What are the potential risks and complications of foot surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, risks exist, including infection and delayed healing. These are rare and Dr Ozcan will walk you through everything in detail before you make any decisions. You will never be asked to commit to anything without fully understanding your options first.
Can I drive home after my surgical procedure?
You will need someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for the first 24 hours. We recommend arranging this in advance and our team can help you plan around it.
Does private health insurance cover the cost of the surgery?
Many patients find their private health insurance covers a significant portion of costs. We provide a detailed quote before any procedure so you can check your exact coverage with your fund, with no surprises.
