Dariush Posted July 25, 2006 at 05:50 AM Report Posted July 25, 2006 at 05:50 AM Hi! can anyone either tell me how to find a podiatrist (foot doctor) in Taiwan - I've been to the hospital in Taipei and they don't seem to have that department. When I tell people I need to see a foot doctor - they just don't understand. Can anyone put me in the right direction? How can I say podiatrist in Mandarin? Does anyone know the correct translation - I already tried foot and doctor together - it didn't work! Thanks. Quote
in_lab Posted July 25, 2006 at 07:24 AM Report Posted July 25, 2006 at 07:24 AM Dr. Eye says podiatrist is 足科醫師, and he is a doctor, afterall, so he should know. I would have guessed 腳科醫生, but I suspect that would work too. Quote
Dariush Posted July 25, 2006 at 07:43 AM Author Report Posted July 25, 2006 at 07:43 AM Thanks! Great, I have a start now! Have you ever heard or any working in Taipei? Even if not - at least I have the word to show the non believers that I didn't just make it up! Quote
in_lab Posted July 26, 2006 at 01:25 AM Report Posted July 26, 2006 at 01:25 AM I think there are hardly any podiatrists in Taiwan. You might just want to go to a hospital, and if the doctor can't handle it you could ask for a referral. You could also try asking at forumosa.com. I did a search and found one doctor: Phone （02）25562998 Address 台北市大同區承德路1段105號5樓 汪作良 現任： 中華民國整脊醫學會理事長 台灣鞋品適穿科技協進會理事長 台北醫學大學附設醫院復健科特約主治醫師 台北脊祥診所院長 專長： 脊椎手法治療 (Spinal Manipulative Therapy) 顱薦系統治療 (CranioSacral Therapy) 手法醫學 (Manual Medicine) 脊椎側彎矯正 疼痛症之診療 足科醫學與醫療鞋具製作 電話： （02）25562998 傳真： （02）25587081 地址： 台北市大同區承德路1段105號5樓 Quote
