Chiropody or Podiatry in Doha: MEMBER IN PAIN !!

I hope someone can help here. I am in desperate need of a chiropodist or podiatrist in Doha, but the web doesn't come up with any hits. Desperately need to get an ingrown toenail either trimmed or (last resort) operated on. I'm even thinking of flying down to Dubai as there is a Chiropody clinic there. Anyone had similar experience in Doha?

I have just looked on HMC website and can't find the link now! I have seen the profile of this lady, when I was considering working here. It was under the Senior Staff profiles with the Director of Nursing. Might be worth giving the main switchboard a ring..

Hi, if you go on the Hamad HMC Webisite and look at the staff profiles, there is a profile of the Head of Podiatry, I think she is American and all her details are there. She is very highly qualified. This at least means that there is such a department within the formal medical serives offered here. I am not sure about private practitioners though. Hope this helps, do be wary of podiatrists who do not have the BSc or equivalent qualification, in this field, proper hygiene facilities such as disposable scalpels, autoclave for reusable implements is vital. Used to be a district nurse in the UK and have seen some terrible things! Best of luck Steve! JJ
