House Call Podiatry in Italy

Yes, the two words mean the same thing: the branch of healthcare devoted to the health and care of the feet. Podiatrists treat fungal infections, verrucas, ingrown toenails, foot ulcers and wounds, diabetic foot, nail problems, calluses and corns — and provide the professional nail cutting and foot hygiene that prevents the complications of do-it-yourself care.

Anyone dealing with nail or skin problems — ingrown or thickened nails, nail re-education or reconstruction, calluses, verrucas — as well as diabetic, painful or arthritic feet and children’s flat feet. And, just as often, people who cannot comfortably get to a clinic, or who are staying in Italy without a trusted local podiatrist and prefer to be treated in English.

No — you can book a podiatrist directly, without any medical prescription. Where a medical condition is involved, your podiatrist coordinates with the doctors following you.

The visit is generally arranged within 48–72 hours of booking, at the time and place you prefer — home, hotel, care home or hospital.

A full 60 minutes dedicated to you: a careful assessment of the state of your foot health, treatment of any problems found, and practical advice on caring for your feet properly in the future.

The first visit starts from € 95 — identical on weekends and holidays. The exact fee for your address is displayed before you book, and discounted care packages are available for regular visits.

Temporary and off-the-shelf arch supports and insoles are available during home visits. Fully custom-made insoles — standard, plaster-cast or postural — can also be arranged: check availability for your address in the booking system.

Degree-qualified professionals — some specialised in sports medicine, biomechanics, geriatrics, paediatrics or orthopaedics — all registered and insured, and selected after reference checks and an interview with our managing doctors.

With Medelit, you can check availability and fees at your address directly on our website. Simply enter your address, choose your preferred clinician based on their profile, qualifications and fees, and book online. No membership required. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.

Fees vary by clinician and specialisation. With Medelit, each clinician sets their own fees, which are fully transparent when you check availability — so you can choose based on both expertise and cost. There are no hidden fees or membership charges.

A home visit is ideal when you have mobility issues, are caring for a child or a relative, are too unwell to travel, need attention outside surgery hours, are travelling or new to Italy, or simply prefer the privacy and comfort of home or your hotel.

Every Medelit clinician is fully registered with the relevant Italian professional body, holds professional indemnity insurance, and has been individually vetted through background checks, reference verification, and interviews with our medical directors. All speak English.

Absolutely. When you check availability, you can view each clinician's profile, qualifications, specialisations and fees. For follow-ups, you can request the same clinician for continuity of care.

Medelit often has same-day availability. In many cases, a clinician can visit within a few hours. Weekend and bank holiday appointments are also available. For medical emergencies, always call 112.

Medelit is available in Italy’s major cities and many surrounding areas. Enter your address to check availability where you are staying.

Yes. Medelit clinicians visit wherever you need them — your home, hotel room, office or workplace. This is particularly valued by travellers, expats and companies requiring on-site services.

You receive a comprehensive report in English. Your Medelit clinician can coordinate follow-up care, referrals, and any additional services needed — all organised through Medelit.

No referral is needed. You can book directly with any Medelit clinician. If you have a letter from your own doctor, our practitioners are happy to take it into account.
