Second opinion
A second opinion can be useful before a surgical procedure and also in the event that a diagnosis is difficult to make or the improvement in symptoms is unsatisfactory.
Sometimes an explanation of the current situation from another side also helps to better assess treatment options.
Patients are often referred for a second opinion by insurance companies or register themselves directly for this purpose.

Surgical treatment
The physicians of the Foot Center perform regular and routine operations on the forefoot, midfoot and hindfoot as well as on the ankle joint and also offer follow-up treatment and controls after operations. As affiliated physicians, we mostly use operating theaters and patient rooms at the Hirslanden Clinics St. Anna in Lucerne and in Meggen, as well as on a consultative basis at the Uster Hospital and on an outpatient basis at St. Anna in Lucerne Station.
Motion Analysis Lab
Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer motion analysis at our foot center.
In individual cases, such an examination can be organized. We kindly ask you to ask your health insurance or accident insurer for approval of the costs in advance, as this highly specialized examination is not a compulsory service and therefore unfortunately cannot be expected to be covered by the insurer.
