Dawn fit me in very quickly to sort my painful toe. Very professional and very gentle, hardly felt anything. I hate having my feet touched but she made me totally at ease. Highly recommended.

I would like to thank Dawn for helping me with my very painful problem, She managed to fit me in extremely quickly following my phone call, due to the level of pain that I was experiencing, I had several follow up appointments for Post Op aftercare which were all at a time to suit me around my work times on Saturdays,
without this I would not have been able to continue with the excellent care I received, at every stage Dawn was professional and extremely knowledgeable about my procedure and follow up care,
I can recommend her and Five Lamps Chiropody Clinic 100 percent, I wont hesitate to

I found the owner/manager to be completely rude and unprofessional. I repeated what she said for the amount to get clarification and she quoted more than a few prices and she replied "ive just said" in a huff. My son had to come with me as no child care and when he tried to speak to her being a normal young toddler, she completely ignored him and was unfriendly. She kept repeating you can have it elsewhere but as i say "ive had 30 years experience" as if other people are unaware of how to treat and guide us. End result i would never pay privately for this lady and if you go there expect a smile

I have been using this service since 2014, I have many issues with my feet from a young age. As a hairdresser I stand up alot, so I have a podiatry treatment every 3 weeks, I have used other podiatrist in the past and have found this to be the best one, professional, clean, friendly and on site parking. Dawn has really helped me to manage my feet over the years wouldn't go anywhere else!
