Podiatrist
Feet bear the brunt of our busy and hectic lifestyles - so good care of our feet is vital to ensure pain-free, lifetime usage.
Podiatrists specialise in assessing, diagnosing and treating abnormalities and diseases of the lower limb. So they are involved with the total care of the feet. Proper care and attention of the feet is important at an early age to ensure proper growth, as it is in later life to keep feet functioning well. They provide professional advice on proper foot care to patients of all ages and from all walks of life.

The doctors are happy to carry out medicals, eg insurance and driving licence, by appointment outside surgery hours. Please telephone the surgery for an appointment and ask at reception for the charges for these services.
