The practitioner
Seila Ivars Ribes
Registered podiatrist
- Graduada en Podología
- Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Podología de la Comunidad Valenciana
- Registration no. 838463655
I am Spanish and grew up on the slopes of the Serra Bernia, in Altea la Vella. I found my vocation in healthcare while working as a «técnico en cuidados auxiliares de enfermería» (the Spanish nursing assistant qualification), and my next step was a degree in Podiatry from the Universidad Miguel Hernández. I am currently furthering my training in surgery —certified in pre- and post-surgical protocol and practice by the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Podólogos de la Comunidad Valenciana, the regional podiatry association— and studying the master’s degree in sports podiatry at the World Academy of Podiatric Science. It would be an honour to be the podiatrist you can trust.
The space
Come and see where you will be seen.
Before booking you can walk through the practice: the entrance, the waiting area and the room where the work happens, with photographs of the real place.
- Step-free entrance at street level
- The four steps of your first visit
- Real photographs, no stock images
- How do I book an appointment?
- From the calendar on this website, choosing a day and time within the clinic’s opening hours, or by phone and WhatsApp on +34 698 901 061. The calendar shows the opening hours, not the diary: what you send is a request, and the clinic confirms the time by email.
- Once I send the form, is the appointment confirmed?
- No. The form sends a request, which the clinic reviews and answers by email, either accepting it or suggesting another time. The appointment is confirmed when you receive that email, not when you send the request.
- Where is the clinic?
- At Calle Ifach 1, in Altea (03590). The entrance is at street level, with no steps.
- What should I bring to the first appointment?
- The shoes you wear every day —they are half the information—, any insoles you currently use, and any previous reports or scans relating to your feet. If you take medication, a list of it also helps.
- Do you see children?
- Yes. Children’s podiatry is one of the usual appointments, and the criteria for assessing a growing foot depend on age: some things are normal at three and not at seven.
- I have diabetes. Should I mention it when booking?
- Yes, and it matters. In a foot with diabetes, sensation may be reduced and circulation compromised, so both the treatment and how often the foot is checked are adapted. The same applies if you are on anticoagulant treatment.
- How do I change or cancel an appointment?
- By letting us know on WhatsApp or by phone on +34 698 901 061. The sooner you tell us, the sooner someone else who is waiting can take that slot.
- When should I not wait to book?
- If there is a wound that will not heal, pus, a red or warm area, an unpleasant smell, a change in the colour of the skin or a nail, or pain that stops you standing on the foot. With diabetes or circulatory problems, any of those signs should be seen as soon as possible.
- Do you make home visits?
- Yes. If you cannot get to the clinic — because of reduced mobility, or because leaving the house has become difficult — the podiatrist comes to you. The service covers the towns of the Marina Baixa and the Marina Alta. The home visit podiatry page explains what is treated at home and how to arrange the visit.

Itchy skin between your toes after going back to closed shoes
Itching, white or peeling skin between the toes when you go back to closed shoes: what may lie behind it, what you can do from today and when to have it assessed. And if you feel embarrassed to show your feet, you can come just as you are.

Black toenail without a knock: causes and when to get it checked
A toenail that turns black without a knock you remember may be caused by pressure from your shoes, but the colour alone does not tell you the cause. What to watch for, what not to do at home and when to get it checked.

Taking your child to the podiatrist: trust is built visit by visit
A hug at the clinic says a lot about how I like to see children: at their own pace, with patience and with the same face at every visit. Here is how I look after their trust at the clinic in Altea, and how to prepare for their first visit.
