Visited this place for the first time and saw Amy who was lovely! First time I had my feet done. Amy explained everything as she went along and was very informative when I asked questions. I have made another booking for March next year

I was fortunate to have been recommended by an orthopaedic surgeon to seek help with my mobility, particularly walking by going to the Foot and Gait Clinic in Taunton. Various experts have given me advice and treatment on a regular basis which are co-ordinated within the system. A little time has now elapsed since I started and I feel that I shall be kept on the road for as long as possible (I am 84!). I look forward to returning each time to the friendly and attractive place where all the practitioners go the extra mile to be encouraging, kind and even good fun, but above all, effective

First time going to a chiropodist and chose the first one on Google search. I have to admit this place is brilliant. My chiropodist Amy woodcock was amazing. Went through everything with me. Was very thorough. Informed me step by step of what she was doing. The place is clean bright and lovely. Customer service brilliant. Social distancing brilliant. Everything brilliant. Nothing to fault them on.
