I have had a really excellent experience with Care for Feet. They have looked after my son really well. He has had two minor surgeries and they really helped him to understand what was happening and to feel calm throughout. They have also done everything possible to be flexible to ensure that we had our appointments at times that suited us and as quickly as possible. I would certainly recommend them to my family and friends.

I have rated Care For Feet a 5 Star Service. The reason for this is as follows: I experienced an excellent service, today, with the podiatrist, she was welcoming, caring and compassionate with her professional role. She did relevant tests, on my feet, along with clipping of toe nails and filing them, removal of hard skin, on the soles of my feet, filing also to smooth them, then did a nail oil on my toe nails, massaged in, last moisturised my feet, along with a therapeutic massage, my feet felt like treading on air afterwards, what a comfortable feeling. I would certainly recommend Care For Feet

Excellent experience. I accidentally booked at the wrong clinic online but rang up to see if I could change it and this was sorted for me without any issue. Good experience on arrival and seen promptly. Podiatrist Sally sorted my problem for me quickly and painlessly and was lovely and professional.

I visited today for a first routine appointment at the Buxton clinic with Jo. The clinic is very clean and light, Jo was really friendly. Although I have no major issues with my feet I had a good experience and took away some good advice. My treatment finished with some lovely oil, now my feet feel amazing.

Both my husband, my father and myself attend the clinics. We have attended both clinics at Buxton and Chapel. The service is great. Jo is always on time and puts you at ease throughout the treatment. Jo is also a great conversationalist and very cheerful. Jo explains what she is doing to your feet and offers really good advise. It is a really comfortable environment. The receptionist is always polite, informative and welcoming. The clinics are spotlessly clean. The team send out a text reminder for your appointments. I have been going for 3 years and would highly recommend them, my feet have never
