Riaz (Ray) Bagha, Foot Specialist with a Podiatric Medicine Degree as well as a D.Ch Chiropody designation
Foot Specialists with Podiatric Medicine and Chiropody qualifications have years of training behind their designation. When having foot and lower limb issues, it is wise to consult with qualified licensed practitioners such as the practitioners above who may have done a Podiatric Medicine degree or Chiropody studies and if they are regulated by a College under the mandate of the Ontario Government or respective provincial government. One way to see if your practitioner is qualified is to ask if they can write Rx's for your Orthotic insoles, or if they are able to inject medication into your foot, or if they can prescribe oral or topical medication. Many do surgeries as well.
Your practitioner at this foot clinic is well qualified and regularly takes courses on the latest developments in foot treatments.
