Mr Eoin Baldwin

I have extensive experience in the field of foot surgery having been involved in podiatric surgery for over 37 years. I am a highly experienced foot specialist, having performed over 25,000 foot and ankle procedures.

Conditions treated include: Hallux valgus (bunions), hallux rigidus (arthritic or stiff big toe), hammer toes, chronic corns, bony lumps, soft tissue lesions such as neuroma (enlarged painful nerve) and flat feet. I also see paediatric patients.

I am also a registered surgical tutor, peer reviewer and examiner for the Faculty of Surgery, College of Podiatrists.

Choosing a foot care specialist

Every doctor, nurse, physiotherapist or other health professional has specific skills and qualifications. They can only provide care that fits within those skills and rules set by their profession. For foot care specialists this means:

• Podiatrists - They diagnose and treat problems with your feet and lower limbs (they are not medical doctors). They can provide advice, prescribe certain medications and carry out non-surgical treatments
• Podiatric Consultants - These are highly experienced podiatrists (they are not medical doctors). They can manage complex foot and ankle conditions, using a range of non-surgical treatments
• Consultant Podiatric Surgeons - They are podiatrists who have completed additional training (they are not medical doctors). They can manage complex foot and ankle conditions using a range of non-surgical treatments and perform some surgical procedures
