Services
Verrucae Treatment
We offer Swift Microwave Therapy, a cutting-edge solution for verrucae. This non-invasive treatment delivers targeted heat to destroy infected tissue, promoting faster healing with minimal discomfort. Ideal for active individuals seeking rapid recovery.
Fungal Nail Treatment
CLEARANAIL Laser Therapy addresses fungal nail infections by penetrating the nail bed to eliminate pathogens. This painless procedure restores nail health over multiple sessions, offering a discreet alternative to oral medications.
Prescription Orthotics
Our biomechanical assessments identify gait irregularities requiring tailored orthotics. These custom insoles correct alignment issues, alleviate pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, and enhance mobility for long-term foot health.
Diabetic Foot Management
Specialised assessments monitor diabetes-related foot risks, including neuropathy and circulation issues. Regular check-ups prevent complications through early intervention, nail care, and ulcer management, reducing amputation risks.
Nail Surgery
We perform partial or total nail avulsions under local anaesthetic for ingrown toenails. The procedure includes chemical matrixectomy to prevent regrowth, offering lasting relief from recurrent infections and pain.

Report
I had a fabulous, quality service and Jackie really was so thorough. She spotted a new mole on the sole of my foot and suggested I contact the GP asap. She also was very warm and friendly and concerned. As a result of her professionalism and dedication, I was able to have the mole removed surgically and this could have saved my life so I want to say a massive thanks to Jackie. A truly fab team. :). She will also be following up my foot care and gave great hints and tips for recovery. Much appreciated.

One of the worst experiences of my life. The woman was very rude and abrupt throughout. I had been told about the poor service here before but as other podiatry clinics were busy I gave it a shot. I will not make the same mistake again. Shocking! Just dont do it
